Here is the inside of the church as promised.
It even came with a special little friend.
Robert 'Mousey' Thompson was born in Kilburn in North Yorkshire in 1876,
the son of the village's jobbing carpenter and stonemason.
Inspired by the splendid medieval carvings at Ripon Cathedral,
Thompson began experimenting with his own ideas for producing furniture.
Sometime between 1924 and 1928 Robert began to sign his furniture with the now iconic mouse mark.
In a letter written by Robert he reveals why he chose the mouse as his mark:
“The origin of the mouse as my mark was almost in the way of being an accident.
I and another carver were carving a huge cornice for a screen and
he happened to say something about being as poor as a church mouse.
I said I’ll carve a mouse here and did so, then it struck me, what a lovely trademark’.
...and there it was at the bottom of one of the pews in this lovely little church.
