The current church building was built in 1792 by Georgian architecture built by George Steuart. It has A Georgian round nave a vivid Victorian stain glass. You wont have seen many others like it before.Well worth a visit even if you are not religious.
The motto of the church is "open doors, open hearts, and open minds". Charles Darwin was baptised in St Chad's church in 1809, and as a young boy attended the church with his mother.
The headstone prop of Ebenezer Scrooge (played by George C. Scott) that was used in the 1984 film A Christmas Carol is still present in the now-disused churchyard. According to the Shrewsbury Town Crier, Martin Wood, the headstone is not a "prop" but an actual period headstone, on which the original inscription had deteriorated to the point that the movie production people asked the church if they could use it and inscribe the "Ebenezer Scrooge" words on it. You can still see some of the original inscription on the bottom part of the stone.
