Wittgenstein’s Resting Place

Ludwig Wittgenstein’s final resting place is at the Ascension Parish Burial Ground (formerly St. Giles and St. Peter’s Burial Ground), located just outside the centre of Cambridge. The house at 76 Storey’s Way, where he passed away, is nearby. The gravestone is maintained by the British Wittgenstein Society and is cleaned annually.

Several of Wittgenstein’s close companions are also buried in the same cemetery, including Elizabeth Anscombe, Frank P. Ramsey, and G. E. Moore.

In addition, the cemetery also contains the graves of descendants of the famous evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin.
