Anglo Saxon Gardens at the Time of the Norman Conquest

Anglo Saxon Gardens at the Time of the Norman Conquest 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. Architecture and horticulture were skills that the Normans excelled in, trumping that of the Anglo-Saxons at the time of the occupation. But before focusing on home-life or having the occasion to contemplate domestic architecture or decoration, the Normans had to subjugate an entire society. Because of this, castles were cruder buildings than monasteries: Monasteries were often important stone buildings located in the biggest and most fertile valleys, while castles were constructed on windy crests where their residents devoted time and space to projects for offense and defense. Gardening, a peaceful occupation, was unfeasible in these unproductive fortifications. The finest example of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture existent presently is Berkeley Castle. The keep is reported to have been created during the time of William the Conqueror. As a method of deterring assailants from tunneling within the walls, an immense terrace surrounds the building. A scenic bowling green, covered in grass and enclosed by battlements cut out of an ancient yew hedge, forms one of the terraces.
