craftsman's townhouse

How much did a craftsman's townhouse cost in 1350?

The record: £12, early 14th c..

About $35,000 in today's gold

6 years of a farm labourer's pay.

A working house with a shop, a workshop and room for the workers; two or three bays, tiled roof; a merchant's house was £33–66. Source

Who could buy it

The lowest paid on each ladder of 1350 whose pay was enough:

On a day's pay

On a week's pay

On a month's pay

In other words, out of a farm labourer's reach: more than a whole year of his pay.
