Other Archer Windsor, 6th Earl of Plymouth (2 July 1789 – 20 July 1833 Deptford) was an English nobleman, the eldest son of the 5th Earl of Plymouth.[2]

Styled Lord Windsor from birth, he inherited his title from his father in 1799, along with his father's land at Tardebigge, the country seat Hewell Grange, and land in Shropshire and Glamorgan.

He married Lady Mary Sackville, daughter of John Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset in 1811.

He was admitted to the House of Lords long before the climax of the French Revolution and was involved in the creation of the Worcester Yeomanry Division which fought in Spain. Also during his tenure, the Birmingham and Worcester Canal was built through Tardebigge and good taxes were collected from the nailmakers of Redditch.

The canal passes very close to Hewell Grange and was finished ten years after Windsor inherited his father's title (the canal was finished in 1799; however the reservoirs were built twenty years later, and finished in 1836). Windsor bought Barnt Green House from the tenant Yates family who had resided there for some years.

Windsor is commemorated by an obelisk bearing his name, situated in the Lickey Hills Country Park and visible from Bromsgrove. His unusual forename 'Other' is traditional in the family and derives from a legendary Viking ancestor 'Otho' or 'Othere'.
