CARER Alan Stork has built a miniature Tudor house to raise money for the Chippenham Alzheimer's Society.

The dolls house is going to auction and can be viewed in Humberts estate agents in the Market Place, Chippenham.

Mr Stork, of Kington Langley, whose wife has dementia, chose to sell the house because he wanted to give something back to the society.

Tracey Berrelly, society branch manager, said Mr Stork attended the support group once a month to meet other carers.

She said: "This is his way of giving a bit back. The house is hand built and hand crafted. It is beautiful. The materials alone would have cost about £150 because of the oak frame and the lead."

The scale model is open to bids which can be made at Humberts. The closing date is December 20.

Mrs Berrelly said: "Our aim is to look after people in their own homes for as long as possible. We look after those with Alzheimer's and their family."

A similar model house was previously sold for £500.
