A list of the names to be found in the book : The Chronicles of Newgate by Arthur Griffiths published 1896
Located in London, Newgate Prison was probably the most notorious prison in all England. A prison has stood on the Newgate site for almost a thousand years. The first prison was nearly as old as the Tower of London and much older than the Bastille. It is first mentioned in the reign of King John and in the following reign of Henry the III, (1218), the King expressly commands the sheriffs of London to repair it, and promised to repay them from his own exchequer. This shows that the prison was under the direct control of the King at that time.
