Cloister, a square salle de verdure in an ornamental grove, with a double palissade around which one turns in the same manner as one walks round a monastery cloister. [1]
Notes
1. John Harvey argues against the existence of the ‘cloister garden’ in medieval gardens, in its strict sense of an ornamental garden within the cloisters of monastries, but remarks that there were examples of separate cloister walks being constructed around gardens, as an adaptation of the tonnelle (article ‘Medieval garden’, in Jellicoe et al., 1991, p. 364). See also article ‘Berceau ou Tonnelle’.
