Anglo Saxon Gardens at the Time of the Norman Conquest
The advent of the Normans in the later half of the eleventh century substantially altered The Anglo-Saxon ways of living. The Normans were better than the Anglo-Saxons at architecture and horticulture when they came into power. But home life, household architecture, and decoration were out of the question until the Normans taken over the rest of the population. Because of this, castles were cruder buildings than monasteries: Monasteries were frequently important stone buildings set in the biggest and most fertile valleys, while castles were constructed on windy crests where their citizens devoted time and space to tasks for offense and defense. Peaceful activities such as gardening were out of place in these desolate citadels. The early Anglo-Norman style of architecture is represented in Berkeley Castle, which is perhaps the most unscathed illustration we have. It is said that the keep was developed during William the Conqueror's time. A big terrace recommended for strolling and as a means to stop attackers from mining under the walls runs around the building. On one of these parapets is a picturesque bowling green covered in grass and enclosed by an aged hedge of yew that has been shaped into coarse battlements.
