In medieval Britain, a chandler was a person who made what items?

Candles✅

A chandler is a purveyor of retail goods such as wax or groceries. The word has come to mean a seller and supplier of a specific industry’s needs, such as a ship’s chandler. Originally, though, a chandler was a craftsman who made candles, an important trade in the days before electric lighting. In Medieval times, the profession had expanded to include the selling of other goods besides candles

Like many working-class people of Medieval Europe, some chandlers lived on nobles’ estates and traveled to towns to sell their wares in bazaars and fairs. Many chandlers lived in towns near or above their shops. Towns were cramped with stone or wood houses built close together or actually sharing walls. Their homes often had little furniture and few windows. Families shared sleeping areas and several children shared the same bed. Household waste, including sewage, was dumped into the streets, and tradesmen, including chandlers, dumped their shop waste into the local waterways
