Bath Place was a prominent London residence[1][failed verification] that had belonged to the Bishops of Bath and was near the King's residence.[2][failed verification]

On 27 June 1539,[3][failed verification] it was 'assured in Parliament to William Fitzwilliam, Earl of Southampton, who was living there in April of that year. After that, it was known for a time as Hampton Place.'[4][failed verification] It was owned by William Fitzwilliam, Earl of Southampton until his death in 1543.[5][full citation needed]
