Appendix. 221
Michael's, Glastonbury, may have been twice damaged within
the period referred to ; but this hardly seems probable, and it
is more likely that there is some confusion of dates. It would
be necessary also, in undertaking such a revision of the
British earthquake catalogue as is here indicated, to dis-
criminate between earthquakes proper and other phenomena,
as it appears from the early records that landslips, subsidences,
great storms, &c, were mixed up, together with much that is
fabulous, and chronicled as earthquakes.
Additions and Corrections to List of British Earthquakes which have
caused Structural Damage.
A.D.
353. Edinburgh. Slight. Only nine or ten houses lost (Hist. of
Weather, vol. ii., p. 166).
394. Wales. Made sad havoc (Ibid.).
707. Scotland. Did very great mischief (Ibid.).
743. In several parts of Scotland ; did great hurt (Ibid.).
811. St. Andrews. Destroyed most of the town and 1400 people (Ibid.,
p. 167).
1062. February 6th. A great one; did much hurt in many places
(Ibid., and 'Chronicles de Magdeburg'). Doubtful whether
this caused damage in England; possibly refers to Swiss earth-
quake of February 8th of same year, recorded in Mallet's
Catalogue.
1120. September. Vale of Trent. Many houses overthrown, "and buried
their inhabitants in the ruins, for it gave daily 10, 17, or 20
shocks" (Hist. of Weather, vol. i., p. 113).
1180. April 25th. At Nottingham and throughout midland counties;
many houses thrown down (Mr. Roper's Catalogue, on authority
of E. J. Lowe).
„ September 29th. "An earthquake fatal to many great buildings
in England, especially to Lincoln Church" (Hist. of Weather,
vol. i., p. 128). This is probably the earthquake referred to
under the date 1185, April 15th, 16th, or 17th (p. 4 of report).
1184. Lincoln. Same as preceding, recorded by Holinshed, vol. ii., p. 188.
1185. Probably the same earthquake, recorded again by Holinshed and
by the author of the ' History of the Weather' (vol. i., p. 128).
1193. England. A great one that levelled edifices and trees with the
ground. No locality mentioned (Hist. of Weather, vol. i., p. 130).
1268—1276. The discrepancies respecting the date of the shock which
destroyed St. Michael's, Glastonbury, have already been
alluded to.
1356. Ireland. Great loss of people (Hist. of Weather, vol. i., p. 178).
1585. April 2nd, about 6 p.m. Near York. This may refer to the 1580
shock, which, according to Baker's Chronicles, occurred in the
