Why it starts in 1753
Great Britain moved from the old Julian calendar to the one we use now in September 1752, under the Calendar (New Style) Act 1750: Wednesday 2 September 1752 was followed by Thursday 14 September. Dates before then were written on the old calendar, so a day of the week worked out on today's calendar would not match what people wrote at the time. That is why this calculator starts on 1 January 1753.
