The Distribution of the word 'Cripple' as a place-name in England and Wales by Keith Armstrong
Abstract: When you look on a map of locations for places which have 'Cripplegates' and add them to other locations which mention 'cripple' an interesting pattern emerges. The vast majority of these places are in the South East of England or the North West of England. None of them are north of the Humber. Clearly the word 'Cripplegate' is not a dialect word. As to its origin, it seems likely the word was first used when England and Wales were one entity.
