Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson (1876-1955) began his working life as a village joiner in Kilburn in the Hambleton Hills. He soon developed his own signature style working on both church and private commissions. Inspired by the traditional materials and craftsmanship of medieval carvers and joiners, he produced simple, honest, handmade oak furniture inspired by the Gothic age, which fit perfectly in with the principles of the Arts and Crafts movement.
