IT appears that Worcestershire and the Midlands were hit by slight earthquakes in late March a century ago.
The Journal for this week of 1903 carried this short item: "The Rev E.J.C Whittington Ince of Wormington Rectory near Evesham, writing with reference to the earthquake shocks that were experienced in the Midlands on March 24, 1903, states that at two o'clock in the afternoon of that day, his wife felt an earth tremor while she lay in bed during a slight indisposition, and that she sent down a notification of the fact."
