KEPYER, a tract in St. Giles parish, Durhamshire; on the river Wear, adjacent to Durham city. An hospital was founded here, in 1112, by Bishop Flambard; was burned by the usurper Comyn; was rebuilt in the time of Richard I., by Bishop Pudsey; and is now represented by only a picturesque gateway, with a wide pointed arch. Kepyer Wood extends along a deep rocky ravine, which is spanned, at a great height, by a railway bridge.
