The Influence of the Norman Conquest on Anglo Saxon Gardens

Influence Norman Conquest Anglo Saxon Gardens 0652176056.jpg The Influence 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. At the time of the conquest, the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons in building design and cultivation. Nonetheless the Normans had to pacify the entire territory before they could focus on home life, domestic architecture, and decoration. Most often built upon windy peaks, castles were basic constructs that enabled their inhabitants to devote time and space to offensive and defensive schemes, while monasteries were rambling stone buildings frequently added in only the most fecund, broad valleys. The serene practice of gardening was unlikely in these dreary bastions. The purest specimen of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture existent presently is Berkeley Castle. The keep is thought to date from the time of William the Conqueror. A significant terrace serves as a hindrance to invaders who would attempt to mine the walls of the building. On one of these terraces sits a charming bowling green: it's coated in grass and flanked by an old yew hedge that is formed into the shape of rough ramparts.
