PRICES AND WAGES IN ENGLAND though referred to in the chandler’s contracts as Chapel candles, the 20 doz. lb. delivered annually at 8s. in 1790– 1803 are recorded as being given to the fellows and bursars in lieu of an allowance. From 1788 a separate average 30 doz. lb. annually were used in the Chapel and about 100 doz. lb. elsewhere, including the Library. From 1813 onwards this 100 doz. lb. is divided into approximately 80 and 20 doz. lb., the latter quantity being 6d. per doz. lb. more than the rest. This higher level is possibly for mould candles and is not included in the table.
