4. Too many wooden sticks were being burned in the furnaces
   In 1834, the exchequer was faced with the problem of disposing of two cart-loads of wooden tally sticks. These were remnants of an obsolete accounting system that had not been used since 1826. It was the decision by the palace’s clerk of works to burn them in the furnaces, rather than in an open-air bonfire or to give them away as firewood, that led to the fateful fire.
