You'll get the best advice here of course. I say bust the main gas pipe in the house, chuck a match in and claim on the insurance.
A lit match. That's what 3bm got wrong last time.

Brandon is in Norfolk, sorry for being a pedant...

Hmm, all the archaeological reports I read said Suffolk. Wiki says 'on the border'.

Maybe they've moved the border.

When you say the cracks are being monitored are they doing this using devices known commonly as telltales (a perspex ruler looking thing with a graph in the middle) which are glued or screwed in place either side of the crack, or alternatively have they put studs known as Vernier markers either side of the cracks, or are you just keeping an eye on the crack and periodically checking if it is increasing in width?
To gauge what is happening any building surveyor or structural engineer will need to look at the extent of the movement over a given period to ascertain the cause and if it is ongoing.

Provide some photos of the cracks in question and I will happily do a Conditions Survey for you.
