Ascension Parish Burial Ground, Cambridge

Ascension Parish Burial Ground, Cambridge

The Ascension Parish Burial Ground, formerly St Giles and St Peter's Parish, is a cemetery just off Huntingdon Road in the north-west of Cambridge, England. (All Souls Lane leads off the Huntingdon Road to it.) It includes the graves of many Cambridge academics and non-conformists of the 19th and early 20th century. A small chapel was also built on the grounds, and currently acts as the workshop of local lettering artist Eric Marland.
