The Worshipful Company of Tallow Chandlers is one of the ancient

Traditionally tallow chandlers operated separately from
candlemakers, its decline precipitated by the advent of electric
lighting. The company now exists as a charitable institution and supports education in oil-related fields.
The company ranks 21st in the
St John the Baptist (Patron Saint of the Company) in reference to Jesus
.
