Anglo-Saxon Grounds During the Norman Conquest The advent of the Normans in the second half of the 11th century considerably altered The Anglo-Saxon ways of living. At the time of the conquest, the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons in building design and cultivation. But there was no time for home life, domesticated design, and decoration until the Normans had conquered the whole region. Because of this, castles were cruder buildings than monasteries: Monasteries were often significant stone buildings located in the biggest and most fecund valleys, while castles were erected on windy crests where their residents devoted time and space to tasks for offense and defense. Tranquil activities such as gardening were out of place in these desolate citadels. Berkeley Castle is perhaps the most intact model in existence nowadays of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture. The keep is thought to date from the time of William the Conqueror. As a technique of deterring attackers from tunneling within the walls, an immense terrace encompasses the building. On one of these terraces sits a quaint bowling green: it is covered in grass and flanked by an old yew hedge that is formed into the shape of rough ramparts.
