Charles Smithson Grave - Malton
Malton has strong links with Charles Dickens - all stemming from his close friendship with Charles Smithson, a solicitor based at offices in the town's Chancery Lane. Smithson first met Dickens while he was in London as part of his legal training. A life-long friendship ensued and there are echoes of the Malton connection in several Dickens novels.
It is widely believed that the Chancery Lane offices were the model for Scrooge's counting house in A Christmas Carol, and that the church bells which feature so prominently in the novel were modelled on those of St Leonard's on Church Hill.
Charles Smithson is buried in St. Mary's Priory Church, Old Malton, North Yorkshire.
