The guest explained: "My great-grandfather presented all these bells, all 14 bells, to Buckfast Abbey in memory of my grandmother who was a Catholic. They bought this doll in France for my grandmother when she was about three or four" adding that the precious doll had been in their family ever since. The doll, which is a Bébé Jumeau, still had its original box, dress and tapes to play from 1890.
