Histon Road Cemetery, Victorian cemetery in north Cambridge, England
The one-hectare cemetery features over 3,500 burial spaces arranged in a grid pattern with paths connecting Histon Road to Victoria Road.
John Claudius Loudon, a prominent Victorian garden designer, created this cemetery in 1843 as one of only three he designed in England.
The cemetery was established by the Nonconformist community to accept burials from all religious denominations, marking a shift toward inclusive burial practices.
While closed for new burials, the Cambridge City Council permits the interment of ashes in existing family graves through their Bereavement Services.
William Bell, who conducted the initial land survey for the cemetery, became its first interment, and his sister Alice inspired the name of Alice Springs.
