Robert Woodford (3 April 1606 – 15 November 1654) was an English lawyer, best known for an extensive diary that covers the period 1637–1641.
He was educated at Brixworth and trained as an attorney by John Reading, a barrister at Inner Temple.
Only one manuscript of his writings appears to survive, but it provides insight into the experiences and world view of a devout Puritan who travelled between London and the Midlands during the years leading up to the English Civil War.
The subject matter includes accounts of the author's family events and business activities, along with extensive comments and reflections of a spiritual nature.
[4] Robert died at Northampton on 15 November 1654 and was buried there at All Saints' Church two days later.
