A TWO-bedroom mock-Tudor home is to be raffled in aid of a church.
The miniature mansion is complete with fixtures and fittings, furniture and its own family.
Father Raymond Cuthbertson, from St John's Church, Shildon, has been given the dolls house, which will be on show at the church's Christmas fair on December 7.
It is the creation of pensioner Robert Sams, who wanted to do something special to raise money for the church.
Fr Cuthbertson said: "It is tremendous. All the furniture has been hand-made and the detail that has gone into it is amazing.
"It has everything, including duvets, and the wardrobe even has a railing to hang clothes on.
"It is a very generous gesture and it will make some little girl a lovely Christmas gift.''
Raffle tickets will go on sale at £1 a strip at the Christmas fair, which is being held in the church, from 10am to 2pm.
The prize draw will not take place until Sunday, December 22, after the church service
