More information on Ascension Parish Burial Ground
This peaceful cemetery, formerly belonging to St. Giles' Church, is the final resting place of many of Cambridge's citizens and scholars, perhaps the most famous here being philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951). A narrow lane leads to the cemetery, a sanctuary of yew trees, squirrels and songbirds. Behind the memorial chapel is a map that indicates the plots of the more notable graves. Wittgenstein in contrast has a simple slab on the ground.
