Leaving the pence aside, I think William's total is 38 pounds + 405 shillings = 58.25 pounds.

So Bookbox was right to be cautious.  It's definitely not one hundred and seventy pounds.

Closer to seventy pounds.

My apologies proffered to MrDudley.

ADDED:

The working (disregarding pence) is:

20 s
6 s 8 d
20 s
21 s 4 d
8 s
40 s
7 marks = 7 x (13 s 4 d)
7 nobles = 7 x (8 s 4 d)
30 pounds
10 marks = 10 x (13 s 4 d)
8 pounds
13 s 4 d

= 38 pounds + 405 s

For William, my readings of the individual amounts are exactly the same as HD’s.

Including the pence, and calculating 1 mark at 13 shillings 4 pence, and 1 noble at 8 shillings 4 pence, I get a total of 56 pounds 14 shillings 4 pence. The difference between that and HD's total is probably accounted for by my faulty maths. Nevertheless, I'm still uncertain exactly what is written.

Thank you very much for that. I was wondering why William had a bigger inventory wealth than Thomas until the total was corrected.
Considering the research on the Bent family of Cosby put William as a Small Landowner. Where as When Thomas died in 1555 he was in the possession Cosby Manor and had a 1,221 acre Estate across Cosby and Littlethorpe along with other Messuages/Houses/Orchards etc

The inventories don't take account of real estate, just personal estate.

While you were posting I also did the pence as follows:

112 d = 9 s 4 d

(58 li 5 s) + (9 s 4 d) = 58 li 14 s 4 d

Still doesn't add up.

Was that on Thomas's or William's? I hadn't noticed that, I went through the pages but must have missed it or didn't realise it was totals.

It's on the back of William’s inventory.

S(u)m(ma) totalis istius Inve(n)tarij ... (= total sum of that Inventory ...)

Deduct(is) debit(is) et funeralib(us) restat clare ... (= after deducting debts and funeral costs, the cleared residue ...)

Again, I’m uncertain of the figures that follow.
