The decoration has been part of a Norfolk family's Christmas for almost 100 years.

Woolworths sold "chalkware" Nativity scenes in the interwar period - gypsum plaster moulded into figures.

Ms Kuhn said there were "lot of little bits that have been chipped off" over the years including the sheep, who has a missing leg, and the angel with a chipped wing. "Also one year, with my mum, we decide to paint it, with my paint-by-numbers set, and that didn't go so well, but otherwise it is in great condition and we put it out every year," she said.

She said she did not think her two daughters realised how significant the decoration was yet, but added: "It's one of those little things that mean a lot to me."
