The Outcome of the Norman Conquest on Anglo-Saxon Landscaping

The Outcome of the Norman Conquest on Anglo-Saxon Landscaping Anglo-Saxons experienced incredible modifications to their daily lives in the latter half of the eleventh century due to the accession of the Normans. Engineering and gardening were skills that the Normans excelled in, trumping that of the Anglo-Saxons at the time of the occupation.

Gardening, a peaceful occupation, was unfeasible in these fruitless fortifications. The best example of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture existent in modern times is Berkeley Castle. The keep is said to date from the time of William the Conqueror. An enormous terrace encompasses the building, serving as an obstruction to attackers intending to excavate under the castle walls. One of these terraces, a charming bowling green, is covered grass and flanked by an aged yew hedge cut into the shape of crude battlements.
