Biography Born in Warrington, Lancashire, Wood trained as a stonemason. He was the son of James Wood who was a road surveyor for Warrington but had started his career as a stonemason. His birth name was John Wood, and he added Warrington in circa 1865 to avoid confusion with a fellow artist of the same name.
From 1858 Wood attended the new Warrington School of Art (Warrington Collegiate Institute) in the evenings and he quickly achieved local recognition and patronage.
Wood died suddenly of complications of a heart condition at the Lion Hotel in Bridge Street, Warrington.
