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 2nd half of the 11th century irreparably transformed The Anglo-Saxon lifestyle.
At the time of the conquest, the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons in building design and cultivation. But before centering on home-life or having the occasion to contemplate domestic architecture or decoration, the Normans had to subjugate an entire society. Castles were more basic constructions and often built on blustery hills, where their people spent both time and space to exercising offense and defense, while monasteries were large stone buildings, commonly located in the widest, most fruitful hollows. Gardening, a quiet occupation, was unfeasible in these fruitless fortifications. Berkeley Castle, potentially the most pristine style of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture, still exists today. The keep is rumored to have been invented during the time of William the Conqueror. A spacious terrace meant for strolling and as a means to stop attackers from mining below the walls runs around the building. A scenic bowling green, covered in grass and surrounded by battlements clipped out of an ancient yew hedge, forms one of the terraces.
