Research: General Reference Tools
Online Etymology Dictionary - explains the history of English words and includes dates of the earliest written usage. It proved invaluable for finding out if the words I wanted to use existed in Elizabethan times. Thanks Robyn for putting me onto this site!
MapQuest UK - for learning distances between places in the UK. Once I knew the distance, I could determine roughly how long my protagonists' horses would take to get from A to B.
