Toponymy

The name is believed[ according to whom? ] to have come from the magical properties of the water found in the enormous lake where a one-legged man died.[ citation needed ] The Cornishman newspaper in April 1881 spells the name Cripples' Ease while reporting on a tenantry dinner in the Engine Inn. [3] Pool (1985) gives the same spelling but without the apostrophe. [4]
