Value Today of L22,150 in 1818
« on: Monday 25 March 13 15:25 GMT (UK) »
In 1818 my ancestor Francis Forster of Margate, Kent sold Low Buston (in Warkworth Parish, Northumberland) to the Appleby's for L22,150. [Source: p. 230, Vol. V, History of Northumberland, by Hodgson.]

What would L22,150 be today?
Willy, Willey, Gifford, England, Fry, Pittard (all in Kingsbury Episcopi Parish, Somerset); Forster (Warkworth, Northumberland; and Isle of Thanet, Kent); & Cartwright & Hancock (Birkenhead, Cheshire)
