Rathborne Candles founded in 1488 is still in business. The process is the same, dipping and hand pouring into molds, but the equipment looks more modern and the factory looks a lot more tidy.

The subtitles keep me confused. These are great videos. Thanks for sharing.

I do wonder if they still make candles this way? Probably needs only 3 or 4 people to run the whole factory.

Nice old series, but it's too bad this factory switched over to more modern materials like paraffin.
