York’s rich history, stretching back to Roman times, is intertwined with the humble yet vital candle. In the medieval period, candles illuminated the magnificent interiors of York Minster, guiding prayers and ceremonies. They also lit the homes and workshops of the city’s thriving artisan community, including the skilled chandlers who crafted candles from tallow or beeswax. During the bustling trade fairs of the Viking-era Jorvik and the later medieval guild gatherings, candles were an essential commodity, symbolising light, warmth, and spiritual devotion.
At York Aromatherapy, we draw inspiration from this historical legacy, reviving the craft of candle making in a way that speaks to both tradition and modern wellness. Each of our hand-poured candles captures a sense of York’s enduring heritage, offering a luxurious nod to the past while creating light for the present
