Rush candles were used to give light. The people had a sort of a little pan with three little feet on it, on which they melted fat. Then they would peel some rushes leaving one little strip of peel on the back of it, then they would dip them in grease and leave them up for a few weeks to dry, when they would dry they would use them as candles.
In nearly all the old houses there was a large beam across at the fire place to keep the chimney up. then there was a strong stick across the chimney, from the beam into the wall called the "Crook Stick". to which there was a strong chain attached, on which to hang the crooks.
At each end of the beam, there was a loft, and the people often stored their potatoes on them.
My uncle William had the little pan business in which the people melted the fat for making the candles. His name and adress is as follows.
