Theodore Woods

Frank Theodore Woods (15 January 1874 – 27 February 1932) was a Church of England bishop. He was the Bishop of Peterborough from 1916 to 1923 before being translated to the see of Winchester,[1] where he remained until his death.[2]

He was the son of the Rev. Frank Woods and a grandson of the civil engineer Edward Woods. His mother, Alice Fry, was a granddaughter of the prison reformer Elizabeth Fry. His brother Edward was Bishop of Lichfield from 1937 to 1953 and was the father of Samuel Woods, an archdeacon in New Zealand, Frank Woods, Archbishop of Melbourne, and Robin Woods, Bishop of Worcester.

While Bishop of Peterborough, Woods served as episcopal secretary for the 1920 Lambeth Conference.[3]

As Bishop of Winchester, Woods was Prelate of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.
