with a very dark brown back and - given I had only a quick glimpse of it
moving - what I thought were quite large ears. The location it was in is
right up against the kitchen chimney wall where the Aga gives out some
warmth and where sparrows roost in various plants, too. There is plenty of
cover there and birdseed too, from time to time. If anyone can suggest
what this little thing is or point me at some pics, I'd love to show them to
the children. TIA.

Hello Sacha. Your little critter may also be a wood mouse. My cat brought one in at the beginning of the week who resembles your description and after looking around on the Internet I thought the most likely looking picture was a wood mouse, although some are lighter in colour than he is. Here are a couple of links to check. One is from Flickr and the other You Tube video was posted by a man who rescued 2 mice from his cat and looked after them for a while.
