Downham Hill, known locally as "Smallpox Hill is an outlying hill from the surrounding Cotswold escarpment, separated by a small valley. It offers perhaps some of the best view in the valley if not the Cotswolds! Due to the physical nature of the hill it lent itself to being a Smallpox isolation hospital during the 18th and 19th century, making it one of the earliest isolation hospitals in the country. It is believed that the hospital played a roll in Edward Jenner’s studies of the disease, and aided his eventual discovery of the Smallpox vaccine.
