Bah Humbug

When the 1984 film 'A Christmas Carol' was shot in Shrewsbury, with George C. Scott playing the part of Scrooge, St. Chad's Church, was used for a number of scenes and Scrooge's gravestone was placed in the graveyard. After the filming was over the gravestone was left in place.

Thank you for all your lovely comments, I will catch up as soon as able

Interesting story and I love the humour in leaving it there. Looks good in the slight sepia tone.

Thank you for the photo and the background story. Watching the movie has become part of my lead up to Christmas.

Interesting story & what a great find. I wonder if they just forgot about it or left it behind as a talking point!
