In the quiet moments after the candles burn low and the church falls silent, the Altar Mouse takes his place at the front of the nave. With paws raised in devotion and the holy boo k open before him, he practises his prayers in the stillness.Life for a church mouse is never easy, yet this small figure remains full of faith and hope, dreaming of a warmer home beyond the cathedral walls. Size. Bigger than most mice at about 3 inches/7.5cm tall. Each Church Mouse is cast in resin from a mould taken directly from the original hand-carved sculpture. They are not wooden carvings, though their carefully finished surface reflects the warmth and character of aged oak. Produced in small batches with great care and attention to detail, some pieces are made to order, so please allow 3–4 days before dispatch. Show more
