Ted Sandyman was the miller of Hobbiton.
History
Ted was a miller after his father. Sam did not like him, and even less when he found out Ted collaborated with Lotho and Sharkey, in exchange for a new and much improved mill.[1]
Inspiration
It is possible J.R.R. Tolkien was inspired by the miller's son at Sarehole mill, Warwickshire, England.
- "There were two millers [at Sarehole Mill], father and son. The old man had a black beard, but it was the son who frightened the boys with his white dusty clothes and sharp-eyed face. Ronald named him 'the White Ogre'. When he yelled at them to clear off they would scamper away from the yard..."
- ― J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography
- "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[2]
Portrayal in adaptations
2001: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition)
- Brian Sergent plays Ted. He is present during Gaffer Gamgee's talk in the Green Dragon.
2002: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (video game):
- Sandyman is standing in front of his mill, looking for an iron pin (that Sancho Proudfoot later admits to have stolen). Retrieving the pin, which is stuck in the Old Grange's weather vane. He is ill-tempered, but expresses gratitude to Frodo after he is assisted, before moaning the fact that he sent Mugwort to Bree to fetch a new pin.
