Kilburn, North Yorkshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The small village of Kilburn in North Yorkshire, England is known for two reasons: the White Horse, and the Mouseman.
The White Horse is a figure cut into the hillside to the north of the village, and visible for many miles around on a clear day.
The Mouseman is the trade-name of Robert (Mousey) Thompson, who manufactured furniture in English oak mainly for church use. His work is distinguished by a carving of a mouse somewhere on the piece. Examples can be seen on the wooden candlesticks in Westminster Abbey.
