  • Description

    "See [[3737101]]. The modern furniture at the eastern end of the nave and in the Lady Chapel in the south transept was made by Thompson's of Kilburn in North Yorkshire. Robert Thompson (1876-1955) set up a business manufacturing oak furniture, which (from around 1919 onwards) featured a carved mouse on almost every piece - for more info, see the Wiki entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_(Mouseman)_Thompson . The firm's website is at http://www.robertthompsons.co.uk/ . This mouse is on the altar in [[3743436]]. See also [[3756565]] and [[3756568]]. There are eight Thompson mice in the church."
