I highly recommend "The Eagle of the Ninth" by Rosemary Sutcliff - a young Roman's adventures in Roman Britain. It's the first in a trilogy so if you enjoy it, there's more.
Anything by Geoffrey Trease and Henry Treece.One of my own favourites is "A Traveller in Time", a not-quite-ghost / romance story set in Elizabethan England and the middle of the 20th century. Still makes me cry nearly 60 years after I first read it."Green Dolphin Country" by Elizabeth Goudge. A bit dated, yes, but still a fantastic romance set in the French Channel Islands and New Zealand ... it'll keep you going for weeks.
