St Chad's Church, Shrewsbury, Anglican church in Shrewsbury, England
The circular white stone building with a high tower stands near the Quarry Park, featuring twelve bells in its prominent steeple.
The current structure, completed in 1792, replaced an earlier church that stood for nearly 1000 years before its tower collapsed in 1788.
The church maintains strong connections with Charles Darwin, who received baptism here in 1809 and attended services during his childhood years.
The building remains open daily from 8 AM to 4 PM for prayer, visits, and regular Anglican services including morning prayer and Holy Eucharist.
A prop gravestone from the 1984 film adaptation of A Christmas Carol remains in the former churchyard, marking a fictional tomb of Ebenezer Scrooge.
