In the course OF it's long history Eng
land has known a few serious earth-'
quake shocks, says the London Chroni-

was felt throughout the country, and IN
1874 an English earthquake destroyed
Glastonbury among its other damage;
while part OF st. Paurs cathed fell
in as the result of an earthquake In the
sixteenth century. Perhaps the most
recent serious shock was that whlch
inflicted much damage in the eastern
counties in 1884: a Mansion house fund
was opened for the sufferers.
