I remember going on a tour of the cathedral as a kid and finding the mouse. I was in there at the weekend and started wondering how many other people also know its location.

Yes but it can't be the same mouse you saw as a kid though can it? :)

Someone pointed it out to me once.

Can't be dead certain exactly where it is though.
I've sort of got a vague idea.

It gets pointed out on the guided tours, but I'm going to need to be reminded. :)

We're all talking about a carved/forged one Chris.
We've obviously stumbled on your hobby of chasing rodents around religious buildings LOL!! :unibrow:

Matt.

Are you going to tell all now?

Or do we have to start guessing?
Is it on a famous statue?

". . . the architect of Lord Derby's tomb claimed that no self-respecting church mouse would live there. As a result, he incorporated a mouse into the design of the tomb - it's just under Lord Derby's pillow."

I thought it was on a tomb .. but I didn't want to say incase I was wrong and made a fool of myself !:D

It was in the back of my mind - but I wouldn't have known who was in the tomb. :)

Same here, Lindy.

I knew it had something to do with Lord Derby, but couldn't remember the story.

Thanks, Chris.

I saw a kid in there - about 1989, I went back last year for the first time since and it's a fully grown goat now.
