Which figure from the history of British science deserves more recognition than they get?

Franklin's Photo 51 was crucial evidence for the double helix model, yet she was largely excluded from the Nobel Prize awarded to Watson, Crick and Wilkins in 1962. Her contribution has only been widely acknowledged decades after her death.

Maxwell's equations are considered one of the greatest achievements in physics, laying the groundwork for Einstein's relativity and modern telecommunications. Yet he remains far less of a household name than Newton or Darwin despite his extraordinary impact.

Working the cliffs of Lyme Regis in the early 19th century, Anning discovered ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs that transformed palaeontology. As a working-class woman, she was systematically excluded from the scientific establishment that profited from her finds.

Sanger developed the techniques for sequencing proteins and DNA that made the Human Genome Project possible, yet he remains almost unknown outside specialist circles. He is one of only four people ever to win two Nobel Prizes.

Ayrton was the first woman to be admitted as a member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers in 1899 and had her Royal Society paper read by a male proxy because women could not present their own work. Her research into electric arc lamps improved street lighting across Britain.
