Anglo Saxon Grounds at the Time of the Norman Conquest
Anglo Saxon Grounds at the Time of the Norman Conquest The introduction of the Normans in the second half of the eleventh century irreparably improved The Anglo-Saxon lifestyle.
Engineering and gardening were skills that the Normans excelled in, trumping that of the Anglo-Saxons at the time of the occupation. But yet there was no time for home life, domestic architecture, and decoration until the Normans had overcome the whole realm. Castles were more standard constructions and often constructed on blustery hills, where their tenants spent both time and space to exercising offense and defense, while monasteries were major stone buildings, commonly located in the widest, most fertile hollows. The serene method of gardening was unlikely in these dreary bastions. The early Anglo-Norman style of architecture is represented in Berkeley Castle, which is most likely the most untouched example we have. The keep is thought to date from the time of William the Conqueror. A massive terrace serves as a hindrance to intruders who would attempt to mine the walls of the building. One of these terraces, a charming bowling green, is covered grass and flanked by an ancient yew hedge cut into the figure of crude battlements.
