I found this currency converter today, and you might find some use for it. It will convert 2005 currency to most any decade starting with 1270.
So, if I plug in £45,000 from 2005, I get 84 pounds, 9 shillings and 5 old pennies for 1270. It also breaks that down into 8,447 craftsmen days, 649 stone of wool, 527 quarters of wheat, 241 cows, or 111 horses. It's interesting to see that the value stays pretty close throughout the middle ages, but it does spike up to 134 pounds in 1320.
