Thomas Wood (sculptor)

Thomas Wood (1646–1695) was a 17th century British sculptor based in Oxford.

He is remembered as the main craftsman decorating the Ashmolean Museum[1] and possibly also its designer.

[2] Around 1658 he became apprenticed (with his brother Richard Wood) to the Oxford master mason William Bird who had several Oxford University contracts and worked closely with Christopher Wren.

He lived independently in the parish of St Peter-in-the-East, in Oxford and was logically buried there when he died in 1694/5.

In 1668 he married Alice Beach or Beche of Patchall at St Margaret's Church in Westminster.
