A Victorian dolls' house is on display again after an absence of ten years.

The Morland dolls' house, made in 1850 for the six daughters of George Bowes Morland, of the famous Morland brewers, is now on show at Abingdon Museum.

Mr Morland's daughters Caroline, Katherine, Louisa, Mary, Grace and Georgina collected articles during their lives to improve the house of the fictional Mr and Mrs Brookes and family.

In the house Mr and Mrs Brookes can be seen playing cards while Miss Brookes practises at the piano.

The museum's new curator Cherry Gray said: "The dolls' house was dismantled about ten years ago when the building was refurbished and almost forgotten.

"But it is a shame to keep it hidden away so it was decided dust it down and bring it out of hibernation."

The Morland Doll's House can be seen at the museum, which is currently staging an exhibition about time, from 11am until 5pm daily.
