The Influence of the Norman Conquest on Anglo-Saxon Landscaping
The Influence of the Norman Conquest on Anglo-Saxon Landscaping Anglo-Saxons experienced extraordinary changes to their day-to-day lives in the latter half of the eleventh century due to the accession of the Normans. At the time of the conquest, the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons in building design and cultivation. But the Normans had to pacify the entire territory before they could focus on home life, domestic architecture, and decoration. Because of this, castles were cruder structures than monasteries: Monasteries were usually important stone buildings located in the biggest and most fertile valleys, while castles were erected on windy crests where their inhabitants devoted time and space to projects for offense and defense. Tranquil pursuits such as gardening were out of place in these desolate citadels. The finest example of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture existent in modern times is Berkeley Castle. The keep is said to date from William the Conqueror's time period.
