Patrick - did the Society of Friends ever practice water baptism - and
particularly adult baptism by total immersion? I've been reading something
on well cults in north Wales which identifies one well with a particularly
big tank as having been used by 'early Quakers' (ie late C17). It didn't
sound right to me but I know the Friends have changed a lot since those
early days.
