This woven blanket honours that remarkable heritage through the Stokes family crest and the Irish National Tartan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Stokes Name\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the English place name Stoke — meaning a settlement or place — the Stokes family came to Ireland in the early modern period and established themselves as part of the Protestant professional and gentry community. The name produced two of the most significant figures in nineteenth-century Irish science: William Stokes (1804–1878), one of the greatest physicians of his era, whose work on heart and lung disease gave rise to the terms Cheyne–Stokes respiration and Stokes–Adams syndrome, still used in medicine today; and his son George Gabriel Stokes (1819–1903), one of the towering figures of Victorian mathematical physics, whose work on fluid dynamics, optics, and fluorescence shaped modern science. Both were born in Ireland, and both represent the extraordinary intellectual tradition that Ireland contributed to the world through its professional classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWoven Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blanket is woven on a loom, not printed.
