The chapel of the Ascension Parish Burial Ground, Cambridge.

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. 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 including three Nobel prize winners. Five members of the family of Charles Darwin are interred here: two sons: Francis Darwin and Horace Darwin, two daughters-in-law: Florence Darwin (third wife of Francis) and Lady Ida Darwin (wife of Horace), and a granddaughter: Frances Cornford, the daughter of Francis Darwin by his second wife, Ellen Wordsworth Darwin. Ten members of the Cambridge Apostles are interred in this burial ground. Over one hundred Fellows, including 38 former Professors, of the University of Cambridge are buried in this cemetery. Three of the twelve members of the Ladies' Dining Society are buried here: Mrs. Arthur Verrall; Lady Ida Darwin (wife of Sir Horace Darwin); and the cremated remains of Lady Caroline Jebb, the American wife of Sir Richard Claverhouse Jebb.

History

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.[citation needed] 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.[citation needed]

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.[citation needed]
