Where is C.S. Lewis buried?

C.S. Lewis is buried at Holy Trinity Church, Headington Quarry.

Lewis died on 22 November 1963, at his home in Oxford, and was buried in the churchyard of Holy Trinity Church in Headington Quarry. His grave is marked by a simple stone and is visited by readers interested in his fiction, literary criticism, and Christian writing.

The church was part of Lewis’s local community. His brother Warren was also buried there after his death in 1973, so the site is associated with both brothers. Holy Trinity is not an Oxford college chapel, despite Lewis’s long academic connection with the University of Oxford.

Lewis’s death date coincided with the deaths of two internationally famous writers and public figures: John F. Kennedy was assassinated that day, and Aldous Huxley also died on 22 November 1963. This coincidence is often mentioned in biographies, but it does not change Lewis’s burial place. His grave remains at Headington Quarry in Oxford.
