Cripplesease is a hamlet in the civil parishes of Ludgvan and Towednack, Cornwall, UK.[1] The B3311 road from Penzance to St Ives passes through the hamlet with Ludgvan on the eastern side and Towednack on the west side of the road.[2]
The name is believed to have come from the magical properties of the water found in the enormous lake where a one-legged man died. 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]
