English Tudor Gardens
Tudor Park is a home enclosure, like a living room in a modest house that contains few, but large enough, the apartment. Sometimes one large enclosure answered a variety of purposes. First of all, it contained the medicinal herbs. Then answer the purpose of pleasure parks, alleys and arbors provide for people to walk on and sit down, other than land for the game. Finally, it supplied a mixture of vegetables and flowers for use and ornament. Garden, if not actually become part of the park, located near, and also decorated.
A number of sun-dials were also scattered, both for use and ornament. Henry VIII ordered dozens of them apparently. Sun-fast already exists in England before the Roman invasion, but their interest seems to have been particularly interested in the sixteenth century. The first book in English devoted to the call issued in 1533, and is largely a translation of Witkendus. In this period the real key is stranger than later in life and often forms the armillary sphere. A water supply is considered as a very important addition to the garden. A central feature is often a well or fountain, fed by the spring, or cistern.
Reservoir is made of tin and decorated in such a way as to make them highly ornamental. Different games played in the garden or its vicinity. Bowling-alleys and green for archery are common. All it needs is a good challenge, grass or gravel company. Tennis is another favorite game. Henry VIII was excited like tennis. Sometimes he used to play in the walled palace to “close tennis play” at Hampton Court, which is one of the oldest in the UK, and has since become a model for many others.
