Before the invention of Northern Rock

Tuesday 27 September 1664 (Pepys' Diary):
"Piggot came to see me, and desire my going down to Brampton Court, where for Piggot’s sake, for whom it is necessary, I should go, I would be glad to go, and will, contrary to my purpose, endeavour it, but having now almost 1000l., if not above, in my house, I know not what to do with it, and that will trouble my mind to leave in the house, and I not at home."

This is about £100,000 in today's money according to this site.
