The recent UK Earthquakes section in the British Geological Survey website reports that an earthquake was detected at Calverley, Leeds, on July 27 2019. It occurred at 01:04 BST at a depth of 12km and magnitude 1.6. Though very minor in World terms it was a highish magnitude for UK earthquakes. I wonder if anyone felt it? The map below (derived from the Google map brought up in the BGS website) shows the location of the earthquake.
