Stopford Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Stopford name in Ireland carries an Anglo-Irish heritage rooted in County Meath and County Wexford — a family of English settler origin that became part of the Protestant gentry tradition of the island. This premium heritage woven blanket honours that heritage through the Stopford family crest and the Irish National Tartan.

The Stopford Name

From the English place name Stockport (Stopford in earlier forms) in Cheshire — the Stopford family came to Ireland in the seventeenth century and established themselves among the settler gentry of Leinster. They appear in the records of County Meath and County Wexford, part of the Protestant professional and landowning community that shaped the east of Ireland through the Georgian and Victorian periods. Edward Stopford, Bishop of Meath in the nineteenth century, is among the more distinguished historical bearers of the name in an Irish context. The family’s military tradition is also notable: the Stopfords produced several officers in the British Army, and the name appears in the records of Irish regiments. The Stopford name endures today as one of the quieter but distinctive markers of the Anglo-Irish gentry tradition.

Woven Craftsmanship

The Stopford crest and Irish tartan design are woven into the fabric — not printed on it. The pattern is integral to every thread, giving the blanket its depth, texture, and lasting quality. Made from 100% premium cotton yarn with traditional fringed edges.
