A minor earthquake which hit the Midlands last night was felt as far away as Luton, according to the British Geological Survey.
At 10.25pm last night an earthquake hit Oakham, in Rutland, measuring 3.8 on the Richter scale.

It was also felt as far as Doncaster and Grimsby to the north and Dudley to the west.
Eyewitnesses closer to the epicentre reported seeing buildings shake.
