An earthquake with a magnitude of 3.8 has been recorded in the East Midlands, the British Geological Survey has confirmed.
The epicentre was near the town of Oakham, in Rutland, at 22:25 GMT on Wednesday.
On social media sites, people said they felt buildings shake in areas including Leicestershire and Lincolnshire.
It comes after an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.9 was recorded in Hampshire on Tuesday.
The British Geological Survey, based in Edinburgh, said it had received more than 1,000 reports from people who felt the Oakham earthquake, including residents from as far away as Dudley and Huddersfield.
People said they felt the tremors for about 10 seconds.
One resident tweeted: "Think we have just had an earthquake in Oakham .... Deafening roar and much shaking. Ooooh er!"
Sally Smart tweeted: "Earthquake wow that was a biggen!! Thought a truck was coming through the house #adrenalinepumping."
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew was also among those who tweeted about the tremor, saying: "The earth just moved in the Vale. I mean seriously. Anyone else feel it?"
The tremor comes after two earthquakes were recorded near Oakham in April last year.
The first, on 17 April, 2014, measured 3.2 in magnitude, followed by a second tremor the following day, which measured 3.5 in magnitude.
On Tuesday, an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.9 was recorded in Hampshire.
The British Geological Survey reported a tremor at a depth of 3km (1.9miles) at Headbourne Worthy, just north east of Winchester.
