Thanks for that.How rich these people must have been.The mansion is quite big .But the grounds are enormous two lakes for starters.
 
Along the same lines; my maternal great-grandmother's family, Angel, from the West Country, owned property in London valued over 150 years ago at about £60 million! The deeds disappeared.
It was mentioned on Channel 4's 'Find a Fortune' with Carol Vorderman several years ago, but that programme also mysteriously vanished from the airwaves/internet.
How much is that amount worth today?

About £3.5 billion ! - which would make you the 10th richest person in the UK (or thereabouts)
