The actual Earth orbit year is 365 and a fraction
days, and apparently was back then, too. And 365
is one day off being 52 whole weeks.
In Baxter's "Galaxias" the length of the year changes. England (the word here is unambiguous) adopts the "English Reformed Calendar", with,
IIRC Dec 21 2056 as day one of year one.
The rest of the world continues to use the old calendar, so once in a while July is the middle of the northern hemisphere winter.
