Tradition in the making:

• Price's Patent Candles Ltd was founded in 1830 ad was a pioneer in candle making
• By the 1850s Price's were the largest makers of candles in the world
• Price's have been supplying candles to the Royal Family since 1840 and remain the selected supplier of candles to the Queen to this day
• Between 1910 and 1912 Price's took over two London candle manufacturers, Francis Tucker and Charles Farris, who were suppliers to the Catholic and Anglican Churches.  In 1906 Tucker's obtained the agreement of the Catholic bishops of England and Wales that all candles burned at Mass should contain 65% beeswax, thus guaranteeing a market for these candles. Both companies survive today as trademark names used by Price's for their beeswax church candles.
