Admitters of wicked things, namely at one time originally sinful (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sconces

'admitters of wicked things' is the definition.
(sconces hold candles - things with wicks)

'namely at one time originally sinful' is the wordplay.
'namely' becomes 'sc' (abbrev for Latin scilicet meaning 'namely').
'at one time' becomes 'once' (both can mean 'in the past').
'originally' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'sinful' is 's'.
'sc'+'once'+'s'='SCONCES'

(Another definition for sconces that I've seen is " Brackets for candlesticks".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
