England Gregorian

England didn't embrace the Gregorian Calendar until the 17th century, over 100 years after it was invented by the Catholic church. 

This means throughout the Tudor Dynasty and before, they used the Julian calendar. New year was observed on the 25th of March and the dates were inaccurate by today's standards.
