The word and concept of a hamlet have roots in the Anglo-Norman settlement of England, where the old French hamlet came to apply to small human settlements.

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]

The Cornishman is a weekly newspaper based in Penzance, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom which was first published on 18 July 1878. Circulation for the first two editions was 4,000.
