John Woodman

John Woodman [Wodman] (d. 1480 × 1481) was a 15th-century churchman based in the Kingdom of Scotland.

Woodman was a canon of the diocese of St Andrews, and as such was locally made Prior of Pittenweem on the death of the previous prior, James Kennedy, Bishop of St Andrews; however, he was opposed by one Walter Monypenny, while the new bishop, Patrick Graham, desired the position for himself.

[3] In 1468, while still litigating with Dunmain in the papal curia, he was provided as Abbot of Jedburgh.

[7] Woodman was in the archdiocese of York in 1480, allegedly acting as a suffragan, though this may be doubtful.

[7] We have no knowledge of his consecration, and his successor William Elphinstone was provided to the (now vacant) bishopric of Ross on 3 August 1481 following the death of Woodman, though it is not possible to date Woodman's death more narrowly than either 1480 or 1481.
