Nowadays, all that remains is the downhill rolling of a handmade, three-kilogram circle of Double Gloucester cheese - and the chase to claim it.
Cooper's Hill is almost vertical at certain points, so participants are more likely to tumble rather than run in the race to grab the cheese.
The festival holds five cheese chases starting at noon on the last Monday of each May.
