Ascension Parish Burial Ground
The Ascension Parish Burial Ground, formerly St Giles and St Peter's Parish, is a cemetery in Cambridge, England. It includes the graves and memorials of many University of Cambridge academics and non-conformists of the 19th and early 20th century. The cemetery encapsulates a century-and-a-half of the University's modern history, with 83 people with ODNB Oxford Dictionary of National Biography biographies. John Couch Adams, the astronomer, is unique in also having a memorial in Westminster Abbey.
== History ==
The one and a half acres of the burial ground were established in 1857 when extra burial space was needed as the city of Cambridge expanded in Victorian times. The first burial there was in 1869. Today some 2,500 people are buried in 1,500 plots. Many city and university dignitaries, scientists and scholars are buried there. 11 members of the Cambridge Apostles are interred in this burial ground. 82 have biographies in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
The cemetery is located just off Huntingdon Road near the junction with Storey's Way in the northwest of Cambridge. The burial ground is a designated City Wildlife Site and is part of the Storey's Way Conservation area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/conservation-areas )〕 In 2005 the plant species present were catalogued and the site is now managed so as to encourage wildlife and habitat diversity, as well as to care for the graves themselves.
The Friends of the Parish of the Ascension Burial Ground aim to protect and enhance the Parish of the Ascension Burial Ground for the public benefit as a place of remembrance, spirituality, history and nature.
