The Results of the Norman Invasion on Anglo-Saxon Landscaping

Results Norman Invasion Anglo-Saxon Landscaping 2927991348602881.jpg The Results of the Norman Invasion on Anglo-Saxon Landscaping Anglo-Saxons encountered great modifications to their daily lives in the latter half of the eleventh century due to the accession of the Normans. At the time of the conquest, the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons in building design and cultivation. But before focusing on home-life or having the occasion to consider domestic architecture or decoration, the Normans had to subjugate an entire society. Castles were more fundamental designs and often built on blustery hills, where their tenants devoted both time and space to exercising offense and defense, while monasteries were large stone buildings, regularly positioned in the widest, most fertile hollows. The calm practice of gardening was impractical in these bleak bastions. Berkeley Castle is probably the most complete model in existence at present of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture. The keep is said to date from William the Conqueror's time period. A monumental terrace serves as a deterrent to invaders who would try to mine the walls of the building. On one of these terraces sits a charming bowling green: it's coated in grass and flanked by an old yew hedge that is created into the shape of rough ramparts.

Keeping Your Wall fountain Clean

Keeping Wall fountain Clean 70336447670318.jpg Keeping Your Wall fountain Clean Proper care and regular upkeep are important to the longevity of water fountains. It is easy for foreign items to find their way into outdoor fountains, so keeping it clean is essential. On top of that, algae can be a problem, because sunshine hitting the water allows it to form easily. To prevent this, take vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or sea salt and add straight into the water. Bleach can also be mixed into the water, but this is not an ideal option because it can sicken birds or other animals.

Experts suggest that the typical garden fountain undergoes a thorough cleaning every 3-4 months. The first task is to empty out all of the water. Next use gentle and a soft sponge to clean the interior of the reservoir. If there is intricate artwork, you might need to use a toothbrush for those hard-to-reach areas. Be sure to thoroughly rinse the inside of the fountain to make sure all the soap is gone.

Numerous organisms and calcium deposits can get inside the pump, so it is recommended to take it apart and clean it thoroughly. You might want to let it soak in vinegar for a few hours to make it easier to scrub. Neither rain water nor mineral water contain substances that will collect inside the pump, so use either over tap water if possible.

Finally, be sure to have a quick look at your fountain every day and add water if you notice that the level is depleted. Allowing the water to reach below the pump’s intake level, can cause serious damage and even make the pump burn out - an undesired outcome!
