Anglo Saxon Landscapes During the Norman Conquest

Anglo Saxon Landscapes During the Norman Conquest The arrival of the Normans in the later half of the 11th century substantially modified The Anglo-Saxon ways of living. The Normans were much better than the Anglo-Saxons at architecture and horticulture when they came into power. But before focusing on home-life or having the occasion to consider domestic architecture or decoration, the Normans had to subjugate an entire population. Most often constructed upon windy peaks, castles were basic structures that permitted their occupants to devote time and space to offensive and defensive programs, while monasteries were rambling stone buildings generally placed in only the most fecund, broad valleys. Tranquil pastimes such as gardening were out of place in these desolate citadels. Berkeley Castle, maybe the most pristine model of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture, still exists in the present day. The keep is rumored to have been invented during the time of William the Conqueror. A large terrace recommended for exercising and as a means to stop enemies from mining below the walls runs about the building. A picturesque bowling green, covered in grass and surrounded by battlements clipped out of an ancient yew hedge, creates one of the terraces.

The Outdoor Public Fountains

The Outdoor Public Fountains Water fountains were at first practical in function, used to bring water from canals or springs to cities and villages, providing the residents with clean water to drink, bathe, and cook with. To generate water flow through a fountain until the late 1800’s, and create a jet of water, demanded gravity and a water source such as a spring or lake, located higher than the fountain. Typically used as monuments and commemorative edifices, water fountains have influenced men and women from all over the world all through the centuries. When you enjoy a fountain nowadays, that is not what the first water fountains looked like. A stone basin, carved from rock, was the 1st fountain, used for containing water for drinking and spiritual functions. Stone basins as fountains have been discovered from 2,000 BC. The first fountains put to use in ancient civilizations relied on gravity to regulate the movement of water through the fountain. The placement of the fountains was driven by the water source, which is why you’ll commonly find them along reservoirs, canals, or rivers. Fountains with decorative Gods, mythological monsters, and creatures began to appear in Rome in about 6 BC, crafted from stone and bronze. The impressive aqueducts of Rome delivered water to the incredible public fountains, many of which you can go see today.
