The Innumerable Options in Garden Wall Fountains
The Innumerable Options in Garden Wall Fountains
Having a wall fountain in your garden or on a veranda is fantastic when you seek to relax. You can also make the most of a small space by having one customized. The required elements include a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump regardless of whether it is freestanding or secured. There are many different varieties available on the market including traditional, fashionable, classical, or Asian. With its basin situated on the ground, freestanding wall fountains, or floor fountains, are typically quite large in size.
On the other hand, a water feature affixed to a wall can be added onto an existing wall or built into a new wall. This type of fountain adds to a cohesive look making it appear as if it was part of the landscape rather than an added feature.
The Impact of the Norman Conquest on Anglo-Saxon Gardens
The Impact of the Norman Conquest on Anglo-Saxon Gardens The Anglo-Saxon way of life was drastically changed by the introduction of the Normans in the later eleventh century. Engineering and horticulture were abilities that the Normans excelled in, trumping that of the Anglo-Saxons at the time of the occupation. But the Normans had to pacify the whole territory before they could concentrate on home life, domestic architecture, and decoration. Monasteries and castles served separate functions, so while monasteries were large stone structures built in only the most productive, wide dales, castles were set upon blustery knolls where the residents focused on understanding offensive and defensive practices. Peaceful pursuits such as gardening were out of place in these desolate citadels. The early Anglo-Norman style of architecture is depicted in Berkeley Castle, which is most likely the most untouched sample we have. It is said that the keep was introduced during William the Conqueror's time. A massive terrace serves as a discouraging factor to invaders who would attempt to mine the walls of the building.
On 1 of these terraces lies a charming bowling green: it's covered in grass and flanked by an old yew hedge that is formed into the shape of rough ramparts.
