Battle GardensA name mooted for the remade Bagshot Row![]() During the War of the Ring, Lotho Sackville-Baggins took over Bag End and began to make radical changes in the Shire. Among these was the digging out of Bagshot Row, a group of Hobbit-holes beneath Bag End that housed, among others, Sam Gamgee's father Hamfast. These former occupants of Bagshot Row were moved to new houses constructed by ruffians in the service of Lotho. After the return of the Travellers and the Battle of Bywater, Lotho's master Saruman (or 'Sharkey') was defeated, and the damage caused during the War was gradually put right. New Hobbit-holes were created where Bagshot Row had once been, and several names were proposed for this new row, of which the first recorded was 'Battle Gardens' after the victory at the Battle of Bywater. Ultimately the name chosen was the more prosaic 'New Row', and the former occupants once again settled into their smials beneath Bag End. Notes
