Decided to have another look at Scrooges grave as it was been cleaned up last time I was here.

But film buffs and literature fans have another reason to stop there: the grave of Ebenezer Scrooge. He may be fictional, his redemptive adventure may be fictional, but his resting place is quite real. Well, sort of.

Scrooge was not dead to begin with. Only for 40 years has the grave been delighting unsuspecting visitors who stumble across it.

That’s because the engraved name did not appear until a 1984 movie adaption of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, starring George C Scott. As for the gravestone itself, that had been in the churchyard for hundreds of years, according to locals.

St Chad’s Church in Shrewsbury is in its own right a fixture on the town’s tourist trail.

If you ever visit here and loose your bearings a good place to get them back Ha Ha!
