		+
		+	The center of the farm consisted of a large farm house with associated farm-buildings. They were all made of brick with thatched roofs, and enclosed within a high wall with a wooden gate to the outside lane.
		+
		+	When [[Frodo Baggins]] was young and lived at [[Brandy Hall]] he occasionally sneaked onto the farm to poach some mushrooms. On the last visit Maggot had caught Frodo and gave him a beating for his thievery. Years later Frodo remained in terror of the farmer and his dogs.
		+
		+	On [[25 September]] {{TA\|3018}}, Frodo, [[Samwise Gamgee\|Sam]], and [[Peregrin Took\|Pippin]] came to Bamfurlong in the afternoon. There they met Farmer Maggot and learned that earlier a [[Nazgûl\|Black Rider]] had visited the farm and enquired about ''Baggins''. The traveling hobbits gratefully accepted a hearty supper before the farmer drove them to [[Bucklebury Ferry]] in his wagon.<ref>{{FR\|I4}}</ref>
