Where was Isaac Newton buried?

Sir Isaac Newton was buried at Westminster Abbey in London, England, on March 28, 1727. His grave stands next to a monument in his honor. Newton died on March 20, 1727 in Kensington, England, at the age of 84.

The monument to Newton was sculpted in 1731 and is made of marble. It recognizes Newton?s scientific contributions, including the universal law of gravitation and the invention of the reflecting telescope. The monument supports a scroll that was repainted in 1977 to include details from Newton?s own manuscripts. In contrast, the grave itself is very simple. The inscription, written in Latin, translates to ?Here lies that which was mortal of Isaac Newton.?
