He was born and lived in Kilburn, North Yorkshire England, where he set up a business manufacturing oak furniture, which featured a carved mouse on almost every piece.It is claimed that the mouse motif supposedly came about accidentally in 1919 following a conversation about “being as poor as a church mouse”, which took place between Thompson and one of his colleagues during the carving of a cornice for a screen. This chance remark led to him carving a mouse which has since remained part of his work from this point onwards. less
