Windsor Castle bag storage

Hello there,
I am hoping to visit Windsor Castle on my 10 hour layover in London, but I will be flying in to Gatwick and out of Heathrow. I checked the Royal Collection website regarding baggage at Windsor Castle and it says this:

On arrival, you and your belongings will be subject to airport-style security checks.
Some items, such as large items of baggage, backpacks, pushchairs, pen-knives and scissors will have to be checked in
and reclaimed at the end of the visit.

I will be traveling with one carry-on backpack (Tom Bihn Aeronaut). Has anyone checked in baggage of this size at Windsor? I really don't want to go to Heathrow, store my luggage, then out to Windsor, then back to Heathrow.

Please let me know and thank you,
Sarah

I'll just consider my bag a large backpack and wing it. If it doesn't work out - eh well, I tried. I'll report back!
Thanks!

That description certainly sounds like they have a large cloakroom with room for large items, as do many museums and sites.
