'Mouseman' Talk & Tours of Ampleforth

Ampleforth Abbey and College, just a few short miles from the Kilburn home of Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson, was the most significant commission for the iconic Yorkshire craftsman. Not only did it inspire many of his most recognisable creations, but it also proved instrumental in the success of his career. Over the decades, Mouseman made an array of furniture and fittings for the Abbey and College, including a unique fitted library.

As part of the valuation day, Tennants’ Mouseman Specialist Diane Sinnott will be giving a talk on the evolution of the work of Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thomspon, his links with Ampleforth and his iconic Monk’s Chair. A tour of the Mouseman in the Abbey and College hosted by Ampleforth will also be available to book. This will be a rare opportunity to see some of Mouseman’s finest creations in the College, which is not normally open to visitors.

Please note, limited tickets for the talk and tours are available. Early booking is advised.
