Cambridgeshire.

County town: Cambridge

Situated in East Anglia. From open fen land to busy towns, Cambridgeshire has it all. With 31 University colleges in the County town, Cambridge, all housed in beautiful buildings and steeped in history, it is little wonder tourists flock there.

An American cemetery sits on a hillside in Madingley, which commemorates the American servicemen and women who gave their lives in the Second World War.

The poet Rupert Brooke lived at Grantchester.

Cambridgeshire as part of the UKBMD project has an online searchable BMD database. Full details of the database, certificate applications, etc., are available on the council website here
