Anglo-Saxon Landscapes at the Time of the Norman Conquest
Anglo-Saxon Landscapes at the Time of the Norman Conquest Anglo-Saxons felt incredible modifications to their daily lives in the latter half of the eleventh century due to the accession of the Normans. The Normans were better than the Anglo-Saxons at architecture and horticulture when they came into power. Still, home life, household architecture, and decoration were out of the question until the Normans taken over the general populace.
Monasteries and castles served different functions, so while monasteries were massive stone structures assembled in only the most fruitful, wide dales, castles were set upon blustery knolls where the residents focused on learning offensive and defensive techniques. Peaceful pursuits such as gardening were out of place in these desolate citadels. The finest example of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture existent in modern times is Berkeley Castle. It is said that the keep was introduced during William the Conqueror's time. An enormous terrace encompasses the building, serving as an obstruction to assailants intending to dig under the castle walls. On one of these parapets is a picturesque bowling green covered in grass and surrounded by an aged hedge of yew that has been designed into coarse battlements.
The Earliest Recorded Water Features of Human History
The Earliest Recorded Water Features of Human History Villages and villages depended on functional water fountains to channel water for cooking, washing, and cleaning up from nearby sources like lakes, channels, or creeks. In the days before electric power, the spray of fountains was driven by gravity only, usually using an aqueduct or water supply located far away in the surrounding mountains. Frequently used as memorials and commemorative structures, water fountains have impressed men and women from all over the globe all through the ages. Crude in style, the first water fountains didn't look much like modern fountains. Created for drinking water and ceremonial purposes, the first fountains were simple carved stone basins. Stone basins are theorized to have been first used around 2000 BC. Early fountains used in ancient civilizations depended on gravity to control the circulation of water through the fountain. These ancient fountains were built to be functional, often situated along reservoirs, creeks and waterways to supply drinking water.
The Romans began constructing ornate fountains in 6 BC, most of which were bronze or stone masks of creatures and mythological characters. A well-designed collection of reservoirs and aqueducts kept Rome's public water fountains supplied with fresh water.
