Encyclopedia > Kilburn, North Yorkshire

The small village of Kilburn in North Yorkshire 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 Thompson, who manufactures 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.
