Your tastes dictate the type you buy so while there may not be a prefabricated fountain to satisfy you, you do have the option of having a customized one.

The two types of water features available to you are mounted and stand-alone models. Small, self-contained versions can be hung on a wall are called mounted wall fountains. Wall fountains made of resin ( similar to stone) or fiberglass are typically light so they can be easily hung. In large stand-alone fountains, otherwise referred to as wall fountains, the basin is set on the ground with the smooth side positioned against a wall. Water features such as these are typically made of cast stone and have no weight restrictions.

Landscape designers often recommend a custom-built fountain for a brand new or existing wall. A expert mason is necessary to install the water basin against the wall and correctly install all the plumbing inside or behind the wall. It is also vital to include a spout or fountain mask to build it into the wall. Customized wall fountains contribute to a unified appearance because they become part of the scenery rather than look like a later addition.

Anglo-Saxon Grounds at the Time of the Norman Conquest

Anglo-Saxon Grounds at the Time of the Norman Conquest Anglo-Saxons felt great changes to their day-to-day lives in the latter half of the eleventh century due to the accession of the Normans. The Normans were 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 society. Because of this, castles were cruder buildings than monasteries: Monasteries were frequently important stone buildings located in the biggest and most fecund valleys, while castles were erected on windy crests where their citizens dedicated time and space to tasks for offense and defense. The barren fortresses did not provide for the calm avocation of horticulture. Berkeley Castle, perhaps the most uncorrupted style of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture, still exists today. The keep is said to date from the time of William the Conqueror. As a method of deterring assailants from tunneling within the walls, an immense terrace surrounds the building. On one of these parapets is a picturesque bowling green covered in grass and surrounded by an aged hedge of yew that has been designed into coarse battlements.
