Repair work starts on Scrooge's smashed gravestone
Repair works on a gravestone for Ebenezer Scrooge are under way after it was smashed by vandals at the weekend. The inscribed stone, used as a prop in the 1984 movie adaptation of A Christmas Carol, has lain in the graveyard next to St Chad’s Church, Shrewsbury, since the film was released 40 years ago.
