What image does a doll's house conjure up for you? Small girls playing house with even smaller dolls? Well the world of miniatures is far from just being child's play - there are plenty of grown ups building every type of house of every historical period and furnishing them down to the last detail.
So what's the attraction of miniatures? Judi Herman met buyers and sellers at one of the smaller miniatures shows for collectors held up and down the country most weekends.
First though, she went to Leonardslee Gardens in Sussex, where an exhibition called Behind the Dolls' House shows in miniature the working of an Edwardian country estate and village. Behind the Dolls' House, at Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens, near Horsham in Sussex. Gardens open daily 9.30 - 6pm until 31 October. For further info.Tel: 01403 891212 or check the website.
