The son of Sir Francis Wood the 3rd Baronet of the Page Wood baronets, and Louisa Mary Hodgson, Wood was born at Newport on the Isle of Wight.[1] He was educated at Winchester College.[2] He would make a single appearance in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Derbyshire in 1876 at the County Ground, Derby.[3] In a match which Derbyshire won by 8 wickets, Wood was twice dismissed for a duck, by John Platts in Hampshire's first-innings and by William Hickton in their second-innings.[4]
He succeeded his father as the 4th Baronet on 21 April 1868.[1] He later married a Maud Mary Brown on 31 July 1894.[1] Wood died at Kensington, London on 13 July 1908. As he died without issue, he was succeeded as the 5th Baronet by his brother Sir John Page Wood.[1]
