Anglo Saxon Grounds During the Norman Conquest

Anglo Saxon Grounds During the Norman ConquestAnglo Saxon Grounds Norman Conquest 6133375225828415634.jpg The Anglo-Saxon way of life was significantly changed by the arrival of the Normans in the later eleventh century. The Normans were much better than the Anglo-Saxons at architecture and horticulture when they came into power. But the Normans had to pacify the whole territory before they could focus on home life, domestic architecture, and decoration. Castles were more basic designs and often erected on blustery hills, where their tenants spent both time and space to exercising offense and defense, while monasteries were considerable stone buildings, regularly positioned in the widest, most fruitful hollows. Tranquil activities such as gardening were out of place in these desolate citadels. The early Anglo-Norman style of architecture is symbolized in Berkeley Castle, which is conceivably the most unscathed illustration we have. The keep is rumored to have been conceived during the time of William the Conqueror. A massive terrace serves as a deterrent to intruders who would attempt to mine the walls of the building. A picturesque bowling green, covered in grass and enclosed by battlements clipped out of an ancient yew hedge, creates one of the terraces.

California's Outdoor Fountains Research and Results

The tax is supposed to decrease sugary drink consumption and augment the consumption of healthier beverages, including water from fountains. First, the city conducted an analysis to evaluate whether residents had easy access to functioning drinking water fountains. Via information amassed by a mobile GPS app, professionals were able to establish the state of existing water fountains in Berkley. Demographic data on race and income was then gathered using the US Census database. The experts sought to use both data sets to figure out if demographics were linked to drinking water fountain access. The study was able to pinpoint the demographics of areas with water fountains, also observing whether the state of the fountains was greater or inferior in lower class neighborhoods.California's Outdoor Fountains Research Results 2503682495445979332.jpg The cleanliness of many fountains was found poor, even if most were working.
