Calendar Reform in England, 1752
So, prior to 1752, March 24th 1700 was followed by March 25th 1701.
How very odd.
I never knew that.
Knew about the 11 stolen days that made April 6th more significant than March 25th.
So some chappie (as an example in the site above) was in gaol in January 1642 for an offence committed in October 1642.
How unutterably peculiar.
