What is recorded here
Robert Wood is a birthplace in Trim, County Meath, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who became a British traveller, classical scholar, civil servant and politician first watched carts climb Trim’s streets in 1717. Maybe he carried that watchful clarity into every room where he later spoke or wrote.
Why this person is known: British traveller, classical scholar, civil servant and politician (1717–1771)
