The Results of the Norman Invasion on Anglo Saxon Gardens
The Results of the Norman Invasion on Anglo Saxon Gardens The arrival of the Normans in the second half of the eleventh century irreparably improved The Anglo-Saxon lifestyle. Architecture and horticulture were skills that the Normans excelled in, trumping that of the Anglo-Saxons at the time of the occupation. But before centering on home-life or having the occasion to think about domestic architecture or decoration, the Normans had to subjugate an entire society. Monasteries and castles served different purposes, so while monasteries were massive stone structures built in only the most fruitful, wide dales, castles were set upon blustery knolls where the residents focused on understanding offensive and defensive techniques. The serene practice of gardening was unlikely in these dreary bastions. The finest specimen of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture existent presently is Berkeley Castle. The keep is said to date from William the Conqueror's time period. A big terrace recommended for strolling and as a means to stop enemies from mining below the walls runs about the building. On one of these terraces lies 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.
