	Collecting Antique Clocks: A 'New' Clock by Samuel Ogden, by Brian Loomes, writer and dealer
		Samuel Ogden was baptised at Halifax parish church in January 1669-70 in the old dating system (we would say 1670), the son of James Ogden of Sowerby near Halifax.
		If he was a Quaker the implication is first that he might not have baptised his children in the parish church, and secondly that he might not have been given the job of working on Halifax church.
		Although the law strongly enforced everyone to attend the local established church, some vicars would not allow Quakers to be baptised in their church or buried in their holy ground, and some Quakers refused to attend anyway.
