Anglo-Saxon Gardens During the Norman Conquest
Anglo-Saxon Gardens During the Norman Conquest The arrival of the Normans in the second half of the eleventh century significantly altered The Anglo-Saxon ways of living. At the time of the conquest, the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons in building design and cultivation. Still, home life, household architecture, and decoration were out of the question until the Normans taken over the general populace. Monasteries and castles served different functions, so while monasteries were enormous stone structures built in only the most productive, wide dales, castles were set upon blustery knolls where the people focused on learning offensive and defensive practices. Gardening, a quiet occupation, was impracticable in these unproductive fortifications. The early Anglo-Norman style of architecture is depicted in Berkeley Castle, which is perhaps the most unscathed illustration we have. It is said that the keep was introduced during William the Conqueror's time. A monumental terrace serves as a hindrance to invaders who would attempt 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 form of crude battlements.
