Best Answer

One Shilling and seven pence GBP in 1831 had the purchasing power of about £5.30 GBP today.

NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program for which I can take no credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.
