I've got a character who's inheriting an entailed British country estate sometime during the late 20's/early 30's. So it's in that post-WWI period where death duties and inheritance taxes are taking a significant chunk out of things (information on how that's set up as well would also be helpful), but it's not quite as late as the wartime shortages of WWII-through-the-sixties.
If someone has a good resource breaking down the sorts of expenses that go along with its staff and maintenance during that time period, that would be really helpful.
I want to put my guy in a money-crunch, but most of the information I have is more for the mid-Victorian period, and I don't want to use 1880's numbers in a piece set in 1930.
Thanks in advance!
