 English historian Samuel Rawson Gardiner, whose book Reports of Cases in the Courts of Star Chamber and High Commission, gives an account of the courtroom trial and cites information from the trial record that the convicted dissenters were to be divided up and sent to various prisons.Historian E. B. Huntington suggests Lothropp was incarcerated in either the Clink or Newgate.Further, it may be that Lothropp actually served time in both prisons since it was customary to move prisoners from one prison to another due to space availability.
