Stephen Hales was born to a well-to-do family in Bekesbourne, Kent, in 1677.
Hales remained in Cambridge as a Fellow of his College until 1709, when he became the Vicar of Teddington, a post he held for the rest of his life.
Hales had supposed that respiration and combustion reduced the volume of air by one fifth because the air had lost that proportion of its elasticity, rather than that one fifth of its substance had been absorbed.

Hales, known as the "Physiological Parish Priest" was instrumental in initiating the process of measuring the blood pressure.
Hales recognized that the peak pressure reflected the exertions of the contracting heart, and that the low pressure was a measure of how much the blood vessels throughout the body resisted blood flow.
Hales also demonstrated that the pulse rate was more rapid in small animals than large animals and that BP was proportionate to the size of the animal.

Hales then gave up his animal experiments, "being discouraged by the disagreeableness of anatomical dissections," and turned to the investigation of the movement of sap in plants, accidentally discovering that the force exerted by flowing sap would expand a bladder tied over a stem.
Another Hales contribution was the investigation of ways to chemically dissolve kidney and bladder stones, in the course of which the cleric invented a surgical forceps.
Noted for cheerfulness and serenity, Hales died after a brief illness and was buried at Teddington, with a monument in his memory at Westminster Abbey.

 Stephen Hales
The English physiologist, chemist and inventor Stephen Hales was born at Bekesbourne in Kent on the 7th or 17th of September 1677, the fifth (perhaps sixth) son of Thomas Hales, whose father, Sir Robert Hales, was created a baronet by Charles II in 1670.

Among other things Hales invented a "sea-gauge" for sounding, and processes for distilling fresh from sea water, for preserving corn from weevils by fumigation with brimstone, and for salting animals whole by passing brine into their arteries.
