Anglo-Saxon Garden Design

The Outcome of the Norman Invasion on Anglo-Saxon Garden Design. Anglo-Saxon descriptionThe Anglo-Saxon way of life was dramatically changed by the appearance of the Normans in the later eleventh century. At the time of the conquest, the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons in building design and cultivation. But yet there was no time for home life, domesticated design, and adornment until the Normans had conquered the whole realm. Castles were more standard constructions and often erected on blustery hills, where their people spent both time and space to practicing offense and defense, while monasteries were considerable stone buildings, mostly positioned in the widest, most fruitful hollows. Gardening, a placid occupation, was impracticable in these unproductive fortifications. Berkeley Castle, perhaps the most pristine style of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture, still exists in the present day. The keep is said to date from the time of William the Conqueror. As a technique of deterring assailants from tunneling underneath the walls, an immense terrace encircles the building. On one of these parapets is a scenic bowling green covered in grass and surrounded by an aged hedge of yew that has been designed into coarse battlements.

A Practical Guide to Hydrostatics

A Practical Guide to Hydrostatics When in equilibrium, liquid applies power to its container or any other material it comes in contact with. The force used falls into one of two categories: external force or hydrostatic energy. When pushing against a level wall, the fluid applies equal force at various points on the wall. All points on an object’s exterior are affected by vertical pressure when the object is entirely submerged in a liquid that’s in a state of equilibrium. This is also known as buoyancy or the Archimedes’ principle. Liquid acted on by hydrostatic force is then subject to hydrostatic pressure at the point of contact. A city’s water supply system, fountains, and artesian wells are all examples of the application of these principles on containers.
