Willow Row Barrow is a hand-crafted monument providing a haven of peace and calm. Echoing what they meant to our ancient ancestors, Willow Row is a secular monument for the safe storage of cremation ashes, a unique venue for commemorative events and funerals. The barrow also provides a venue for education, intimate performance, and peaceful contemplation.

Many of Cambridge's citizens and scholars, notably the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) are buried in this peaceful cemetery.

This is the final resting place of many of Cambridge’s residents, which also contains the war cemetery where many graves of British service personnel lie alongside their Polish, Australian, New Zealander and Canadian comrades who lost their lives during World War II.
