A gravestone for Ebenezer Scrooge, left behind after the filming of a 1984 movie adaptation of A Christmas Carol, has been smashed.
The inscribed stone, used as a prop in the film, has lain in the graveyard next to St Chad’s Church, Shrewsbury, since the movie based on the Charles Dickens classic was released 40 years ago.
Town council clerk Helen Ball said she was notified on Sunday the gravestone had been damaged.
“We’re now left with a gravestone that’s in multiple pieces,” she added.
