Sandyman was the miller of Hobbiton.
History
Sandyman owned and ran the Old Mill in Hobbiton around S.R. 1401 and well before.[1] The Gaffer was not very fond of Sandyman, or his habits of telling tall tales and having quick judgment of others.[2]
Some time before the War of the Ring, Sandyman died and passed his mill on to his son Ted.
Inspiration
Possibly the miller at Sarehole Mill, Warwickshire, England
- "I never liked the looks of the Young miller, but his father, the Old miller, had a black beard, and he was not named Sandyman."
- ― J.R.R. Tolkien[3]
