Dudley had retired to the countryside in Kirtling due to his ill health, and discovered the springs during a walk in the woods. Dudley's brother, Roger, led an expedition to Guyana, which Dudley supported, but when Roger left without leave, Dudley was imprisoned for two days in the notorious River Fleet Prison at London.
