Cranbourne Lodge, English country house in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire, England.

The Grade II listed Cranbourne Tower stands as the remaining structure of the former keeper's lodge within Windsor Great Park's wooded landscape.

Built during King Henry VII's reign, the lodge served as a residence for Richard Weston during Henry VIII's time and witnessed Anne Hyde's birth in 1638.

The lodge gained literary attention when poets Byron and Shelley highlighted Princess Charlotte's confinement there in 1814 due to royal marriage arrangements.

The tower remains a private residence within Windsor Great Park, while the main house was demolished in 1865 after falling into structural decline.

The structure originated from the 13th-century division of Windsor royal forest and evolved from a hunting ground keeper's lodge into a substantial country residence.
