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. However, there was no time for home life, domestic design, and decoration until the Normans had conquered the whole region. Because of this, castles were cruder buildings than monasteries: Monasteries were usually significant stone buildings set in the biggest and most fertile valleys, while castles were built on windy crests where their residents devoted time and space to tasks for offense and defense. The tranquil practice of gardening was unlikely in these bleak bastions. Berkeley Castle is most likely the most complete model in existence nowadays of the early Anglo-Norman form of architecture. It is said that the keep was developed during William the Conqueror's time. An enormous terrace encompasses the building, serving as an obstacle to attackers wanting to dig under the castle walls. A picturesque bowling green, covered in grass and enclosed by battlements clipped out of an ancient yew hedge, makes one of the terraces.

The Very First Water Fountains of Human History

The Very First Water Fountains of Human History Villages and villages relied on working water fountains to funnel water for preparing food, washing, and cleaning from nearby sources like ponds, streams, or springs. To generate water flow through a fountain until the late 1800’s, and generate a jet of water, required gravity and a water source such as a spring or reservoir, located higher than the fountain. Typically used as monuments and commemorative structures, water fountains have inspired people from all over the globe all through the ages. The contemporary fountains of modern times bear little similarity to the first water fountains. The 1st known water fountain was a rock basin created that was used as a receptacle for drinking water and ceremonial functions. 2000 B.C. is when the oldest identified stone fountain basins were originally used. The first fountains put to use in ancient civilizations relied on gravity to regulate the flow of water through the fountain. These ancient fountains were created to be functional, frequently situated along aqueducts, streams and waterways to supply drinking water. Fountains with flowery decoration started to appear in Rome in approximately 6 BC, normally gods and creatures, made with stone or bronze. Water for the open fountains of Rome was brought to the city via a elaborate system of water aqueducts.
