Lemax Caddington Village brings a wonderful opportunity to be creative at Christmas with a range of well-designed pieces that help recreate a bygone time for the festivities.
One possible scene to create is a Victorian Christmas steeped in literary nostalgia, where every building and figurine tells a story of 19th-century charm.
The exquisite craftsmanship and details recreate a Dickensian hamlet, complete with snow-covered streets to weave a narrative that captures the heart of Dickens’ tales.
Here, the Christmas.co.uk team looks at how you can bring the spirit of A Christmas Carol to life and craft a village rich with literary depth.
Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim: A heartwarming duo
Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim enjoy a festive walk.
The Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim figurine is a poignant tribute to Dickens’ enduring story. Standing approximately 7.2 cm tall, this resin duo captures Bob Cratchit carrying Tiny Tim on his shoulder, their faces radiating love. We love the intricate details, from Bob’s worn coat, Tiny Tim’s crutch and their festive scarves. This creation reflects the resilience and warmth of the Cratchit family. For Caddington Village collectors, this figurine is one to cherish for its ability to anchor a scene with heartfelt storytelling. It will work well when placed near a cosy home or festive shop to evoke the spirit of Christmas generosity.
The Scrooge: A redemption narrative
The Scrooge goes about his day.
The Scrooge figurine brings the iconic Ebenezer Scrooge to your village with striking detail. Measuring approximately 6.5 cm tall, this resin figure depicts Scrooge in his daywear with top hat, coat, stick and large keyring of keys. His weathered expression and slightly stooped posture are well sculpted to add literary depth. We think this piece is a collector’s treasure, inviting collectors and those who will admire your scene to imagine Scrooge’s transformative journey through the snowy streets of Caddington Village.
Townsfolk figurines, set of 6: A Dickensian community
This townsfolk set adds character to your scenes.
The townsfolk figurines, set of 6 bring a diverse cast of villagers to your display, enhancing the Dickensian feel. Ranging from 5 to 7 cm tall, this resin set includes villagers in Victorian attire. They are a flower seller, a policeman or ‘Peeler’, a woman singing, a man carrying a bird in a cage and a gentleman reading a newspaper. Each of them has intricate details like top hats, shawls, and baskets. The vibrant yet authentic colours create a lively community scene. Collectors will love how these figurines add depth and narrative, transforming your village into a bustling hamlet straight from a Dickens novel.
Scene suggestions: A Dickens-inspired village
The Snowman is home to his feathered friends!
The figurines mentioned here offer a great opportunity to craft a literary village scene by, for example, placing Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim outside Devaney’s Bakery, a 14 cm tall porcelain shop with glowing windows, to depict a warm family moment. Then you could position The Scrooge near St Ann’s Church, a 15.5 cm tall structure with stained-glass details, to suggest a redemption arc. To really deliver a Dickensian scene, scatter the townsfolk figurines around a village square, illuminated by gas lantern street lamps, each 10.5 cm tall with festive wreaths attached. For many collectors, this arrangement will evoke a cohesive, nostalgic village filled with literary charm.
You could also enhance the scene with the fine feathered friends, a 5.8 cm tall figurine of a snowman with birds making him their home, or you can enjoy some of the excellent creations found in the Santa’s Wonderland line-up with this lovely North Pole signs, set of 2 which are 7 cm tall and add festive direction. These extra additions will help deliver the storytelling of the scene and boost the Caddington Village charm.
