If you google something like "inflation calculator" you will find a number of sites that do the calculation for you. I usually use the Bank of England one. Unfortunately I can't get it to work this morning, possibly because I am on an iPad, so I can't give you the answer.

Thank you

Had a look at the Bank of England site- it is set for 1750-2014 and that comes out as just under £8,000 :-)
