Wodehouse was the son of Sir Roger Woodhouse, of Kimberley, Norfolk, and Mary Corbet, daughter of John Corbet, and was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge (1575), and trained in the law at Lincoln's Inn (1580).
He was knighted in 1596 for his actions during the capture of Cádiz,[2] and in 1611 he was created a Baronet, of Wilberhall in the County of Norfolk.
She was the widow of Thomas Lestrange of Hunstanton,[1] the grandson of Sir Nicholas le Strange.
[3] Sir Philip died on 30 October 1623 and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son, Thomas.
A women's jacket in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is thought to have belonged to Grizell Wodehouse.
