Shelley's Cottage, Grade II listed cottage in Englefield Green, England.
The red brick cottage features a low-pitched slate roof and stands at the end of an unnamed road adjoining Wick Lane in Runnymede.
Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley resided in this cottage from August 1815 to May 1816, following a financial improvement from his grandfather's inheritance.
During their residence at the cottage, Percy Shelley composed the poem Alastor while Mary Shelley gave birth to their second child, William.
The cottage sits within 100 meters of Windsor Great Park, marking the boundary between Surrey and Berkshire counties in southern England.
Mary Shelley later referenced this location in her novel The Last Man, portraying Windsor as a Garden of Eden in her narrative.
