FYI, RAM = memory; 1TB and 2TB refers to disk space, as I'm sure you know by now.... Terrible CPU by the way. Suggestions coming...
OK so your demands aren't great but treat yourself to an SSD and a half decent CPU....£300 https://www.box.co.uk/1LU04ESABU-HP-255-G5_2154771.html
Laptop prices have gone up in the last 6 months and so, for your budget, others may suggest a referb Dell from somewhere like this http://mcscom.co.uk/shop/dell-laptops/

PS. Question. Where is your "historical work" stored at the moment? You need stuff in 2 places; a 128GB SSD (fast!) is a little small - that's why I'm asking where you store stuff now.

Even this five year old refurb; http://mcscom.co.uk/product/dell-latitude-e5530-i5-3320m-2-60ghz-4gb-128gb-ssd-15-hd-no-os-90day-rtb-wty-mll676/ at £157.50 would outperform the £300 HP and pretty much anything else on this thread.
Goodness know why so many choose to ignore the OP's upper limit.
