I love A Christmas Carol! Love they kept the stone! A reminder of how our time here is limited. Make the time we have count. Do good! Don't waste a second on things you'll regret! Thank you for this wonderful video, walkabout!
Me too! Did you know that the Muppets Christmas Carol with Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge is the version that is closest to Dickens’ original story? 😀👍 Simonline
I thought perhaps it was someone who had the same name.. and I was wondering what the date on the stone was. The graveyard does seem full of teenage boys.. (dead ones, I mean.. 😁)
Fun fact, most old churchyards had yew trees. They were kept for the use of English longbows at time of war. For nearly 25 years I used to maintain churchyards all over the west of England, one of the churches I did until just recently had upto 6 bodies per grave due to English civil war and when they had no space left, they buried the bodies upright on the outside of the churchyard.
Wow, how interesting! My ancestors came from England and I was lucky to be able to spend half of the summer there touring around with my Mom! I can’t wait for the opportunity to see the British Isles again! Forget about a cruise in the tropics, I want to see England, Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland, and Ireland. Yes, I know that Ireland is not part of the British Isles, but it’s so close, it would be silly not to see it. England and Wales are my favorite, though! Thanks so much for sharing your story with us and please have a blessed holiday season!
I read somewhere, years ago, that in London churchyards (and probably elsewhere as well) that by the 19th century the common practice was to bury a number of coffins one on top of another with the uppermost above ground, and then to pile earth above it, eventually raising the ground level of the entire churchyard by several feet. They probably didn't get to that point in rural churchyards like this one.
You have got to have loads of interesting stories, local history and folklore. You should revisit the places you worked at and have a TH-cam channel for the videos. I think it would be really interesting and I think it would be successful, especially with that fact that you worked there and therefore may be able to access parts not available to the general public and your associates could also share their stories. I hope that you will create a channel and persue this, as it would have a slight twist to what is usually covered in many channels. But I think this channel is one of the best!
We are so lucky to have so many churchyards and green spaces like that. If you ever get the chance to visit Great Britain, try to come in autumn when the scenery is at it's most beautiful.
Interesting video on shrewsbury. I love the George C Scott Scrooge because the gentleman who is the director was the film editor for the English version from 1951. I love that one also with Alistair Sims. A beautiful Church along with a beautiful Cemetery thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks so much for slowing down your focus on the tombstones! I appreciate it. This is a great video for the season. You have a very soothing voice and it’s very comforting. You could literally read anything and it would be pleasant listening!
@@deadgoodwalks no, thank you for sharing your adventures with us and giving us some obscure historical information as well! Thanks for having such a beautiful voice that I love to listen to after a stressful and taxing day! Looking forward to hearing the tax audits soon. I trust that they will be strangely compelling! A new fan from MI! 💯😎 respect!!
I so enjoyed the suspense of you wondering the cemetery looking for Ebenezer….I truly laughed out loud a few times. Thanks Dan. I really enjoy your walks❤
No, now Ichabod Crane, now he was a real person in history. But he was not a schoolmaster who went across with the headless horseman. No, he was a soilder in our military. Also the reason the Charles Dickens wrote a Christmas Carol is because he was fighting for right of factory workers in industrial revolution because the working conditions were so bad, he was for theme. He knows what it's like for other people, he grew up in those conditions. so he understands.
Charles Dickens father was imprisoned in the debtors prison when Charles was about 11. Charles had to work for a living so he had personal experience of how hard life was for the working classes.
Scrooge's grave is actually real, but the carving on it was so weathered as to be no longer readable, and the records of who was buried there are lost, so the film company got permission to carve Scrooge's name on the stone and use it for filming.
Where is Scrooge buried? A Christmas Carol (the one with George C Scott) was filmed in Shrewsbury. The gravestone was left in situ after filming was complete in the grounds of St Chad's; great photo opportunity that shouldn't be missed!
@@deadgoodwalks the unexpected! a friend's mother in law had a bad fall and i was called to help, just as the stream was starting, talk about timing! hope you're doing well x

Hi, there! Kudos! This is really great stuff! I had no clue that slab was real. I thought it was just props. Great to see it looking very much the same after nearly 40 years! I really enjoy your videos so very much! I've done my fair share of graveyard exploration but you're taking me places I've never been. I also appreciate your clear notion of cemetery etiquette! Thanks again! Just one tiny observation: I think Dickens never called his character "The Ghost of Christmas Future" but "The Ghost/ Spirit of Christmas yet to come". Blessings!
My all time favourite Christmas movie I just spent the day before this aired watching 5 different version of a Christmas Carole love it beautiful cemetery
Oh just think of the leaves as snow lol. Here in Michigan I’m happy every day there’s no snow lol. We get lake effect snow too but not as bad as my Uncle. They get bad lake effect snow last week they got 17 inches over night. Snow is pretty unless you have to dig out driveway and sidewalks before 11am or City slaps a fine on ya lol. The sun was pretty shining among the garden of stone. 🇺🇸

👩🏻💻🎄🎉Merry Christmas from America! Love your video, with the appropriate Christmas tree ornament. George C Scott 1984 A Christmas Carol flim is free to watch on TH-cam right now. The 1984 film is my favorite A Christmas Carol along with Alister Simm, 1951, and Michael Caine's performance with the Muppets, 1992. I have also purchased all 3 films from TH-cam among others. Have a wonderful Holiday! 🙋♀️😘😳🤗🥰🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇦
Hi there. We have been to see the grave of scrooge a few years ago. Nice to see a video about it. If ever you are Wolverhampton way heading into Shropshire there is a small place called Tong which has a beautiful church. In the grounds is the grave of Little Nell another dickins character. I believe Tong was used in the book The Old Curiosity Shop
I bet you were kicking yourself walking past it 🙈 I think it's so cool seeing different types of tombstones. Those built above ground freak me out abit... I think something is going to make it self known 😂 I know a few scrooges...
That's a beautiful cemetery Dan.. Stunning.. I played in lots of graveyards when I was a kid.. Especially the one on Spring Bank west.. The older one, irs lovely and very old in there 🖤
Ah yes, I've spent many a night cutting through there on the way home from night out when I was younger haha. Have you seen the small abandoned one just on your right as you come off the fly over into town? Next to a pub
@@deadgoodwalks I have. That's an old one too and I did the same in Chants graveyard.. Staggered out of Polar Bear and found my way home with twigs and god knows what in my hair lol.. Happy days Dan 😊
Hi. Came across this by accident but have now subscribed to your channel. What a wonderful topic. You might be interested in a really quirky grave near our house? It is in CF14 7TD, Pantmawr cemetery, Cardiff. Walk to the end of the drive almost to the end. There is a grave there with a black stone surround. It is dedicated to a lady called Fanny Trimmer although, to be honest, I'm not sure whether that is her name or her profession.
Amazing that…there was…a real…Ebenezer Scrooge…at all! Fascinating! 😊👍👍 If not really fake..the churchwarden may have a date of that grave…perhaps 🤷🏻 I’m surprised that the church would allow a fake gravestone to stay there 🤔
awwww ok from a movie😅. Actually have never watched the George C Scott version. But I know this video came up in my recommendeds because I just watched the Guy Pearce version which was gritty and mean and great and NOT for children! And I also suspect that this video came into my recommendeds because I had been watching utuber reviews of the various and many film versions of A Christmas Carol
Dan I was wondering if that Tunstall family was related to the Tunstall that knew John Chisholm in America. If you've ever seen the John Wayne movie Chisholm his neighbor friend was called Tunstall and he was directly from England. He was a real person, so I was wondering maybe that's his family interesting that I saw that.
Good timing for this one , ty, but too many young teens and babies gone too soon 😥 (by the way, this is my favorite version of the movie, George C. Scott)
A Christmas Carol was based on a true story, Charles Dickens Character Ebenezer Scrooge was based on the life Story of John Elwes , 1714 - 1789 you can check out his story on TH-cam
It's a courtesy title that was used from the late nineteenth century when addressing *any* male in a formal setting. Use of it generally died out in the 1970s. In the 1950s, though, you used "Esq" pretty much any time you addressed something to "Mr". If you used the one, you used the other. Before the 19th Century, it did generally denote some sort of status or rank: something more than a gentleman and less than a knight. Definitely nothing to do with being a "nobleman", however. Male barristers (English lawyers in courts) insist to this day on the title being painted on their wig tins, as their status as legal professionals matches precisely the idea of being better than a mere gentleman, but not as good as a judge! In short, in the days when this cemetery was being filled, "Esquire" was something you called a monied, propertied man who was more than a mere tradesman or labourer, but who wasn't upper class enough to have a "proper" title such as Sir or Lord. By the time Dickens was writing his short story, Dickens himself would have been called "esquire" when his bank wrote to him about his overdraft. And by the time of the first world war, even my train ticket collecting grandfather would have been addressed as esquire every time the council wrote to him about his rent arrears 😀
He certainly was real, I worked for him for 25 years (he used a alias however) 😂😂 but I know it was him 😆
Lol🤣
hahaha Jim. I think I know him too
funny 😂 good one dear

Yeah, was it down the chip shop ? I think I met him aswell . Or was that Elvis...?

Ah, I thought he was real 😔 but what a beautiful place, imagine how many people were fooled by that gravestone, thanks for the walk.
I met some people on the day looking for the grave too...I don't know if they thought it was real, I didn't want to spoil it for them

Dan I was wondering if that Tunstall family was related to the Tunstall that knew John Chisholm in America. If you've ever seen the John Wayne movie Chisholm his neighbor friend was called Tunstall and he was directly from England. He was a real person, so I was wondering maybe that's his family interesting that I saw that.
I'd be sure to check it out if I could find some more info.
Tunstall is not an unusual name in the UK. And there are nearly 70 million of us!

Good timing for this one , ty, but too many young teens and babies gone too soon 😥 (by the way, this is my favorite version of the movie, George C. Scott)
Yeah I try to keep it seasonal if I can. It's brilliant isn't it...I watched it again the other day
Actually it was from the 1951 film staring Alistair Sim.... In the that film. He fell apon it when the ghost of Christmas future pointed to it.....
I didn't know that tombs would sometimes be painted, must've made the cemetery look quite colourful.
I can't ever remember seeing a painted tomb like that before, I guess they must have been
Ebenezer Scroggie is the real person
Church yard sure could use a good clean up.
Scrooge was a chad,
He was buried at St. Chads

Just wondering you mentioned a few enquires. What's an esquire? Thanks for posting it. Have a great day everyone
Hi David, it means a young nobleman usually from a well to do family
It's a courtesy title that was used from the late nineteenth century when addressing *any* male in a formal setting. Use of it generally died out in the 1970s. In the 1950s, though, you used "Esq" pretty much any time you addressed something to "Mr". If you used the one, you used the other.
