Dear Residents,
I am appealing for witnesses after the grave of Ebenezer Scrooge in Shrewsbury was destroyed.
The vandalism is believed to have happened on Saturday evening where the headstone belonging to the fictional character has been broken.
The grave, which is located at St Chad’s Church in Claremont Hill, was used as a prop in 1980s film A Christmas Carol.
Once filming was completed the inscribed stone used as Ebenezer Scrooge’s grave remained in the church grounds and has since become a popular tourist attraction within the town.
After some new helpful information we are now able to narrow down the time frame. We can now make a fresh appeal to anyone who was in the area between the hours of 18:30hrs and 23:50hrs on Saturday 23rd November, and witnessed any unusual behaviour, please get in as it may help with our enquiries.
You can contact me by emailing on jono.lightfoot@westmercia.police.uk quoting incident number 288i of November 24, 2024.
Alternatively, if you have information but don’t feel comfortable speaking to police, you can speak to the independent charity Crimestoppers. It is 100% anonymous, they never ask your name, and they cannot trace your call or IP address. You can contact them online or by calling 0800 555 111.
Thank you
Jonathan
