John Embling - Will (General)

Just an update...I have found a will in Gloucester and it states that John Embling who died in 1885 made a condition that his property, i.e his farm in Littledean, Seven Star Pub, Cinderford and several cottages in the High St were not to be sold until after his wife's death. She died in 1901. It also mentions that he left her "a £1.00 a week" for the rest of her life. I wonder how much a pound was worth in 1885?
