Your Garden: The Perfect Place for a Garden Fountain
Your Garden: The Perfect Place for a Garden Fountain
The addition of a wall fountain or an outdoor garden fountain is a great way to adorn your yard or garden design. Modern-day designers and fountain builders alike use historic fountains and water features to shape their creations. You can also reinforce the link to the past by adding one of these to your home's interior design. The benefit of having a garden fountain extends beyond its beauty as it also appeals to birds and other wildlife, in addition to harmonizing the ecosystem with the water and moisture it emits into the atmosphere. Flying, bothersome insects, for instance, are scared away by the birds congregating near the fountain or birdbath. Putting in a wall water feature is your best option for a little backyard because a spouting or cascading fountain occupies too much space. Either a stand-alone fountain with an even back and an attached basin set against a fence or a wall, or a wall-mounted style which is self-contained and hangs on a wall, are some of the options from which you can choose. Both a fountain mask placed on the existing wall as well as a basin located at the bottom to collect the water are necessary if you wish to include a fountain. The plumbing and masonry work necessary for this type of job requires training, so it is best to hire a skilled person rather than do it yourself.
Anglo Saxon Landscapes at the Time of the Norman Conquest
Anglo Saxon Landscapes at the Time of the Norman Conquest Anglo-Saxons experienced great modifications to their day-to-day lives in the latter half of the eleventh century due to the accession of the Normans.
The skill of the Normans exceeded the Anglo-Saxons' in design and farming at the time of the conquest. But home life, household architecture, and decoration were out of the question until the Normans taken over the rest of the population. 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 constructed on windy crests where their citizens dedicated time and space to tasks for offense and defense. The calm method of gardening was not viable in these bleak bastions. The purest specimen of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture existent in modern times is Berkeley Castle. 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 trying to dig under the castle walls. A picturesque bowling green, enveloped in grass and bordered by battlements clipped out of an ancient yew hedge, creates one of the terraces.
