CAMBRIDGE General CEMETERY --- Visitors ARE REQUESTED TO KEEP ON THE GRAVEL PATHS AND NOT TO PLUCK THE FLOWERS OR INJURE THE SHRUBS --- No gratuity allowed to be received by the Curator. The Cambridge General Cemetery Company was founded in 1843 by a group of local nonconformist businessmen, to provide a burial site open to all. The noted garden designer John Claudius Loudon planned the layout and planting with trees and shrubs. The company was wound up in 1936 and a chapel (designed by the rogue Gothic architect Edward Buckton Lamb) was demolished in 1957, but Lamb's original lodge in Histon Road https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/732495 remains in use as a private residence, punningly named Grave's End. Maintenance of the cemetery is now the responsibility of the City Council with the aid of a volunteer group of Friends. Histon Road Cemetery http://histonroadcemetery.org/ is listed Grade II* https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1001569
