Candle Clocks
Motion and Time of Class 7
Candles were used for telling the time in China from the sixth century . There is a story that King Alfred the Great invented the candle clock, but we know they were in use in England from the tenth century CE. However, the rate of burning is subject to draughts, and the variable quality of the wax. Like oil lamps, candles were used to mark the passage of time from one event to another, rather than tell the time of day.
