The farming year in Medieval England was clearly shaped around the weather. At certain times of the year, certain things had to be done by peasant farmers or crops would not have grown. Farming, in this sense, was controlled by the weather.

Interestingly, the medieval English architects built medieval castles with square shaped towers (with right angles). This squared tower design created blind spots opposing forces could take advantage of during a siege. It was not until the first Crusades that a solution was discovered. Medieval knights abroad found the round-shaped towers of Middle Eastern fortresses much more difficult to attack because the blind spots were gone. As soon as word of this new round tower design reached medieval England, every new castle built had round towers.

Farming dominated the lives of most Medieval people. Many peasants in Medieval England worked the land and, as a result, farming was critically important to a peasant family in Medieval England. Most people lived in villages where there was plenty of land for farming. Medieval towns were small but still needed the food produced by surrounding villages.
