Sir Walter Besant, in The Fascination of London, published in 1903, continues his survey of the Strand with this mention of Arundel House:

On the east side of Somerset House stood Arundel House, originally Bath's Inn, as the town-house of the Bishop of Bath and Wells.

In this house were set up the famous Arundel marbles.

The Duc de Sully, who was lodged here during his embassy to England on the accession of James I, speaks of it as a most commodious house.

Near Arundel House and Somerset House was an Inn of Chancery called Chester Inn.
