Anglo Saxon Landscapes at the Time of the Norman Conquest
Anglo Saxon Landscapes at the Time of the Norman Conquest The arrival of the Normans in the second half of the eleventh century considerably transformed The Anglo-Saxon ways of living.
The ability of the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons' in design and agriculture at the time of the conquest. But home life, household architecture, and decoration were out of the question until the Normans taken over the entire population. Because of this, castles were cruder constructions than monasteries: Monasteries were often significant stone buildings located in the biggest and most fecund valleys, while castles were erected on windy crests where their inhabitants dedicated time and space to projects for offense and defense. Gardening, a placid occupation, was impracticable in these fruitless fortifications. The purest specimen of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture existent presently is Berkeley Castle. The keep is rumored to have been developed during the time of William the Conqueror. A large terrace meant for walking and as a way to stop enemies from mining below the walls runs around the building. A scenic bowling green, covered in grass and surrounded by battlements clipped out of an ancient yew hedge, forms one of the terraces.

Eco-Friendly Fountains: Good for the Environment
Are you looking to adorn your residence? Well, you can add that special touch and increase the price of your home just by adding a solar water fountain. They offer all the great benefits of electric fountains, such as improving health and general well-being but they also provide tremendous monetary rewards. Even though there may be a greater cost at the beginning, the long-term investment will make it worthwhile. Because your fountain will not be powered by electrical energy, there will be no need to be concerned about any power shortages. Running water fountains means that your use of electricity will go up and thus your monthly bill. Although short-term costs might be more substantial than you had anticipated, don't forget that your home is increasing in value.
The increased costs resulting from using more electricity is not the only factor, it also harms our eco-system. Solar powered water fountains are fueled straight from the sun thus making them the ideal “green” fountain. The use of solar energy to heat or cool your home is much better for our planet.
This kind of water fountain doesn't need as much maintenance as others.
These fountains require less cleaning than other kinds. Since these do not work using an electric motor that could clog up with debris, they need little cleaning. And less cleaning means more time to enjoy yourself!
