Ebenezer Scrooge’s Shrewsbury gravestone restored in time for Christmas

The gravestone of Ebenezer Scrooge has been reinstated, after it was smashed into piece by vandals in November.

The stone was left behind in the graveyard of St Chad’s Church in Shrewsbury after being used as a prop in the filming of a 1984 movie adaptation of A Christmas Carol.

Local company Midland Masonry carried out the repairs for free, it finished the majority of the work on Friday and will return to repoint the cracks on Monday.

“It’s been a bit of a challenge but nothing too unusual, apart from the name on the grave,” said stonemason Ed Jones.
