13 LADY DAY In England, Lady Day was New Year's Day between 1155 and 1752, when 1 January was declared to be the official the start of the year.  Lady Day was a traditional day on which year-long contracts between landowners and tenant farmers would begin and end in England and nearby lands (although there were regional variations).
