DevinPeasant cottages were usually built by the peasants themselves, were rather simple, and were seldom sold.
But there is information on the costs of houses.
- 5 shillings per year to rent a cottage
- 2 to 3 pounds (40 to 60 shillings) to rent a merchant's house
- 5 pounds to buy a well built row house in York.
- 30 to 65 pounds to buy a merchant's house
- 90 pounds for a house with a courtyard.
A well paid blacksmith or baker might have made 5 pence per day. Working six days per week, this would come to 2.5 shillings per week or 6 pounds per year.
