Unfortunately documentation is not as good as one would like for this major earthquake. It was felt over an area stretching from Dublin to London. Slight damage was caused in the Nantwich (Cheshire) area, but the epicentre could have been further west; in fact, the pattern shown by what data are available is not too dissimilar to that of the 1984 Lleyn Peninsula earthquake (Musson 1989a).
