Anglo-Saxon Landscapes at the Time of the Norman Conquest
Anglo-Saxon Landscapes at the Time of the Norman Conquest The Anglo-Saxon way of life was drastically changed by the appearance of the Normans in the later eleventh century.
The Normans were much better than the Anglo-Saxons at architecture and horticulture when they came into power. But there was no time for home life, domesticated design, and adornment until the Normans had overcome the whole realm. Monasteries and castles served different functions, so while monasteries were massive stone structures constructed in only the most fruitful, wide dales, castles were set upon blustery knolls where the people focused on understanding offensive and defensive strategies. Gardening, a peaceful occupation, was unfeasible in these fruitless fortifications. Berkeley Castle is perhaps the most unchanged model in existence today of the early Anglo-Norman form of architecture. The keep is said to date from the time of William the Conqueror. A monumental terrace serves as a discouraging factor to intruders who would try to mine the walls of the building. One of these terraces, a charming bowling green, is covered grass and flanked by an ancient yew hedge trimmed into the figure of crude battlements.
