Thomas Wood (died 1502) Judge
Sir Thomas Wood KS (died 31 August 1502), in archaic spelling Wode, of Childrey in Berkshire (now in Oxfordshire), was an English landowner, lawyer, administrator and politician who became Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. Origins There is no certainty over his origins. In 1936, the History of Parliament suggested that he was born before 1449 in or near Oxfordshire and that his father, a landowner who died before 1478, was also Thomas. In 2018, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography rejected on heraldic grounds claims that he was from gentry families named Wood in Cambridgeshire, Cheshire and Suffolk, suggesting instead that he was born before 1452 in or close to either Hampshire or Wiltshire. He is first mentioned in records as a gentleman living in London in 1473, presumably studying and practising law. Career After training at the Middle Temple, by 1475 he was retained as counsel by Winchester College and in 1478 entered public life. Acquiring an estate at Childrey, ...
