"Candles (Tallow)","£309 4s 10d",External,"Mr. Penlington / Tallow Ch / on Acct of last Season","Penlington was almost invariably described as a ""Tallow Chandler"" in payments between 29 March 1798 and 26 January 1802, then as a ""Wax Chandler"" in payments between 27 July 1802 and 2 January 1808, so the identification as ""Tallow"" here may be a mistake. Or perhaps he provided both types of candle throughout his association with Covent Garden."
