About the author

Very little biographical information about Frederic W. Woodhouse could be confirmed from reliable online sources during this search. What is clear is that he is credited as the author of The Churches of Coventry: A Short History of the City & Its Medieval Remains.

That book was published in 1909 as part of Bell's Cathedral Series and focuses on Coventry's churches, architecture, and medieval history. The surviving record suggests that Woodhouse's reputation today rests mainly on this carefully focused local history rather than on a widely documented public life.

Because dependable biographical sources appear to be scarce, it is best to treat him as an obscure historical author whose work remains of interest to readers drawn to English church history, Coventry, and medieval remains.
