KNIPERSLEY, (Staffordshire) in the p. of Biddulph, was the estate of a family of the same name, from the R. of Hen. III. to that of Edw. II. soon after which it went, by marriage, to Rob. Bowyer. There is a well in the neighbouring park, the water of which is recommended for the kings-evil. Sir Thomas Gresley, Bt. has a seat here.
