Where in Lewis Carroll's works can you find a reference to a church mouse?

There is no reference to a Church Mouse in any of Lewis Carroll's writings. It doesn't appear in any of his fictional works, nor does it appear in any of the books, articles, letters or diaries written under his real name, Charles Dodgson. There are references made in several online dictionaries to Carroll creating a character called Church Mouse, (See link below) but none of them quotes a source and they appear to be mistaken.
