Can anyone tell me what £100. was worth in the mid 1650’s.
Thank you
See Eliza Picard book. Restoration London
in Short one could have 50 maids at 2 quid wage a year.
or buy carriage and pair for 100 pounds or have 10 years rent from house in Kentish town or it could be two years wage for clergyman or if thy wanted, one could buy 130 pairs of silk stockings. A house could be built and paid for with 300 pounds in the Strand, now add 5 naughts.
