  2. 1 2 3 4 Comparing early modern costs and prices with those of the modern period is challenging. £3,887 in 1541 could be equivalent to between £1.9 million and £920 million in 2014, depending on the price comparison used. £383 in 1583 could equate to between £92,000 and £34 million; £211 in 1611 to between £30,000 and £11 million; £459 in 1623 to between £76,000 and £23 million. For comparison, the total royal expenditure on all the Device Forts across England between 1539–47 came to £376,500, with St Mawes and Sandgate Castle, for example, costing £5,018 and £5,584 apiece. [14]
  3. The historian Henry Symonds presented an argument for the use of Sandsfoot as a mint on the basis of the labelling of coins from this period with an "SA", and their similarity to other coins struck at Weymouth during the Royalist control of the town. If the coins concerned were not struck at Sandsfoot, they were likely the product of the Salisbury mint. Symond argues that the mint's equipment may have been evacuated to Portland Castle when the Royalists left. [26]
  4. Equivalent modern prices of early 20th century monetary sums depend on the index used to make the comparison. £150 in 1902 could equate to between £14,800 in 2014, if valued using the a GDP Deflator, or up to £142,000, if valued using a share of GDP. [42]
