Size of farms

[Colin Moretti]

The same will (dated 1829) as my previous query (preceding thread) refers to farms of 28 acres and 80 acres. How does the size of these compare with the average farm at that time?

Thanks

Almost straddles the size of mid range farms, the majority of farms would be within that range at the time.

Thanks Guy

What a contrast to the size of farms today.
