The Outcome of the Norman Conquest on Anglo-Saxon Gardens
The Outcome of the Norman Conquest on Anglo-Saxon Gardens The Anglo-Saxon way of life was dramatically changed by the arrival 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 before centering on home-life or having the occasion to consider domestic architecture or decoration, the Normans had to subjugate an entire population. Because of this, castles were cruder buildings than monasteries: Monasteries were usually important stone buildings set in the biggest and most fertile valleys, while castles were built on windy crests where their inhabitants devoted time and space to tasks for offense and defense. The bare fortresses did not provide for the calm avocation of horticulture. Berkeley Castle is most likely the most intact model in existence at present of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture. The keep is reported to have been invented during the time of William the Conqueror. A spacious terrace recommended for exercising and as a way to stop enemies from mining below the walls runs about the building. A scenic bowling green, covered in grass and surrounded by battlements cut out of an ancient yew hedge, creates one of the terraces.
Water Features Recorded by History
Water Features Recorded by History Water fountains were at first practical in purpose, used to deliver water from canals or springs to towns and villages, supplying the inhabitants with fresh water to drink, bathe, and prepare food with. To generate water flow through a fountain until the late 1800’s, and produce a jet of water, demanded gravity and a water source such as a creek or reservoir, situated higher than the fountain. Inspirational and spectacular, prominent water fountains have been crafted as monuments in nearly all civilizations. If you saw the 1st fountains, you wouldn't recognize them as fountains. A natural stone basin, crafted from rock, was the first fountain, used for containing water for drinking and ceremonial purposes. Stone basins are thought to have been 1st used around 2000 BC. Gravity was the power source that controlled the oldest water fountains. Drinking water was provided by public fountains, long before fountains became decorative public statues, as beautiful as they are functional. The people of Rome began creating elaborate fountains in 6 BC, most of which were bronze or stone masks of wildlife and mythological heroes. Water for the community fountains of Rome was delivered to the city via a complicated system of water aqueducts.
