Anglo Saxon Landscapes at the Time of the Norman Conquest
Anglo Saxon Landscapes at the Time of the Norman Conquest The Anglo-Saxon way of life was dramatically changed by the appearance of the Normans in the later eleventh century. Engineering and horticulture were attributes that the Normans excelled in, trumping that of the Anglo-Saxons at the time of the occupation. But nevertheless home life, household architecture, and decoration were out of the question until the Normans taken over the entire population. Most often constructed upon windy peaks, castles were basic structures that enabled their inhabitants to devote time and space to offensive and defensive strategies, while monasteries were rambling stone buildings frequently added in only the most fecund, broad valleys. Gardening, a peaceful occupation, was unfeasible in these fruitless fortifications. Berkeley Castle, perhaps the most uncorrupted style of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture, still exists now. The keep is thought to date from the time of William the Conqueror. A massive terrace serves as a hindrance to invaders who would try to mine the walls of the building. A scenic bowling green, enveloped in grass and enclosed by battlements clipped out of an ancient yew hedge, forms one of the terraces.
The Broad Array of Wall Fountains
The Broad Array of Wall Fountains Having a wall fountain in your backyard or on a veranda is excellent when you wish to relax. Even a little space can contain a custom-made one. A spout, a water basin, internal piping, and a pump are necessary for freestanding as well as mounted types. There are many different styles available on the market including traditional, contemporary, classical, or Asian. Normally quite large, freestanding wall fountains, also known as floor fountains, have their basins on the floor.
On the other hand, a fountain attached to a wall can be incorporated onto an existing wall or fit into a new wall. The look of your landscape will seem more cohesive instead of disjointed when you install this style of water feature.
