Anglo-Saxon Grounds During the Norman Conquest
Anglo-Saxon Grounds During the Norman Conquest The introduction of the Normans in the latter half of the eleventh century substantially transformed The Anglo-Saxon ways of living. Engineering and horticulture were abilities that the Normans excelled in, trumping that of the Anglo-Saxons at the time of the occupation. But nevertheless home life, household architecture, and decoration were out of the question until the Normans taken over the general populace. Castles were more fundamental designs and often erected on blustery hills, where their tenants spent both time and space to practicing offense and defense, while monasteries were major stone buildings, commonly situated in the widest, most fruitful hollows. The tranquil method of gardening was not viable in these dreary bastions. Berkeley Castle, perhaps the most pristine model of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture, still exists now. It is said that the keep was created during William the Conqueror's time. An enormous terrace encompasses the building, serving as an impediment to assailants wanting to dig under the castle walls. On one of these parapets is a picturesque bowling green covered in grass and enclosed by an aged hedge of yew that has been designed into coarse battlements.Discover Peace with Garden Fountains
