Of course there is a mouse called Wensleydale! In fact, he also has a has whole family, all named after cheeses, and each has their own adventure in the series.

He also has an adventurous younger sister called Caerphilly, a wise old grandmother called Sage Derby, parents Lancashire and Cheshire, a morose uncle called blue Stilton, a Cornish Aunt called Yarg, a Scottish cousin called Dunlop who is into Motor Racing (cue escapade with matchbox cars, or scalextrics, she's a bit of a speed addict, is Dunlop, and draws Brie and Wensleydale into her adventures).
