The Multiple Styles of Wall Water Fountains
The Multiple Styles of Wall Water Fountains
A small patio or a courtyard is a great spot to put your wall fountain when you seek out peace and quiet. Even a little space can contain a custom-made one. Whether it is stand alone or fitted, you will need a spout, a water basin, internal piping, and a pump. Traditional, contemporary, classic, and Asian are just some of the styles from which you can choose. Usually quite big, freestanding wall fountains, also referred to as floor fountains, have their basins on the ground.
A wall-mounted water feature can either be incorporated onto a wall already in existence or fitted into a wall under construction. A cohesive look can be achieved with this style of water feature because it seems to become part of the landscape rather than an added element.
Anglo-Saxon Gardens During the Norman Conquest
Anglo-Saxon Gardens During the Norman Conquest The Anglo-Saxon way of life was significantly changed by the introduction of the Normans in the later eleventh century. Architecture and gardening were abilities that the Normans excelled in, trumping that of the Anglo-Saxons at the time of the occupation. But the Normans had to pacify the entire territory before they could focus on home life, domestic architecture, and decoration. Because of this, castles were cruder constructions than monasteries: Monasteries were usually important stone buildings set in the biggest and most fecund valleys, while castles were erected on windy crests where their residents dedicated time and space to projects for offense and defense. Relaxing pastimes such as gardening were out of place in these destitute citadels.
Berkeley Castle is possibly the most intact model in existence nowadays of the early Anglo-Norman form of architecture. It is said that the keep was developed during William the Conqueror's time. An enormous terrace encompasses the building, serving as an impediment to attackers intending to dig under the castle walls. On one of these parapets is a scenic bowling green covered in grass and surrounded by an aged hedge of yew that has been designed into coarse battlements.
