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

On 27 June 1539,[3] 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] It was owned by William Fitzwilliam, Earl of Southampton until his death in 1543.[5]
