Early life Matthew Wood was the son of William Wood ( died 1809 ) , a serge maker from Exeter and Tiverton both in Devon , by his wife Catherine Cluse ( died 1798 ) . He was descended from the Wood family of Hareston in the parish of Brixton in Devon , which the family had inherited by marriage to the heiress of the Carslake family . Business career Wood was educated briefly at Blundell 's School in Tiverton , before being obliged to help his ailing father . He was involved in the putting-out system of his father 's business for serge , based at Tiverton , and the sale of cloth in Exeter . Wood was then apprenticed to his cousin , an Exeter chemist and druggist , but moved to London in 1790 to set himself up in business . In 1797 , Wood took an opportunity to go into business as a hop merchant . From then on , he was involved in parallel developments , as a druggist and hop trader . Around 1804 , Wood went into business , on the hops side , with Lieut.-Col. Edward Wigan , who died in 1814 , a London militia officer and goldsmith . He was later partner with Edward Wigan , eldest son of Lieut . Col . Edward Wigan . The firm of Wood , Wigan & Wood was based in Falcon Square , a small and largely residential area between Falcon Street to the west , and Silver Street to the east . The partners in it , in 1816 , were Matthew Wood , Alfred Wood ( another son of Lieut.-Col. Edward Wigan ) , and Philip Western Wood , Matthew 's brother . Around 1820 , that part of the business was moved to St Margaret Hill , in the centre of Southwark . The partnership changed , with the Wigans dropping out . Philip Wood , another brother Benjamin Wood , and Matthew 's youngest son Western all coming in . In 1832 , the business was once more in the City of London , on Mark Lane . It traded as Wood , Field & Wood . Wood also carried on a druggist business , in Falcon Square . In politics Wood was elected to the Court of Common Council of the City of London , representing the Cripplegate ward , in 1802 , holding the seat to 1807 . In 1807 he was elected to the Court of Aldermen . His initial effort to get into parliament was at the 1812 general election , when he and Robert Waithman only split the radical vote , coming 6th and 5th respectively in the four-member City of London constituency . In an 1814 by-election at Grampound he showed an interest , but did not make it a serious contest . Wood was a member of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers , by tradition the leading Whig livery company ; he became its Prime Warden . He served as Sheriff of the City of London for 1809 . He won popularity by encouraging resistance to unpopular government measures and by his vigour as first magistrate in seeking to suppress the London underworld . Wood was a founder member of the Hampden Clubs and of the Union Society for parliamentary reform in 1812 . This was under the aegis of John Cartwright , whose parliamentary election campaign he supported in 1814 . Lord Mayor Wood was Lord Mayor of London from 1815 to 1817 . In December 1816 , he dispersed the Spa Fields riot , but went on to present to the Prince Regent a petition expressing the rioters ' demands for popular representation and reform . City scavengers cleansing the London streets of impurities ! ! , 1816 satirical print directed at the efforts of Lord Mayor Matthew Wood ( right , with broom ) to reduce overt prostitution in London Member of Parliament On 17 January 1817 Wood and Robert Waithman gave a reform banquet . At it Wood spoke in favour of triennial parliaments . In June 1817 , Wood was elected unopposed as a Member of Parliament for the City of London , following the resignation of Harvey Christian Combe MP . He held the seat until his death in 1843 . In 1821 , Matthew Wood was one of " seven wise men " that John Cartwright proposed to Jeremy Bentham , to act as " Guardians of Constitutional Reform " , their reports and observations to concern " the entire Democracy or Commons of the United Kingdom " . In addition to Bentham and himself , the other names Cartwright proposed were Sir Francis Burdett , Rev. William Draper ; George Ensor , Rev. Richard Hayes and Robert Williams . Caroline of Brunswick Wood was a prominent partisan and adviser of Queen Caroline on her return to England in 1820 : she arrived at Dover on 5 June . In 1813 , when she was a beleaguered Princess of Wales , he had gone to Kensington Palace with an address from the City of London , and congratulated her " upon her triumph over a wicked conspiracy against her honour and her life " . Wood had carried out a protracted campaign to stage manage her return . An apparent attempt via his son William to contact her in Italy , near Parma , took place in 1819 . Wood was corresponding with her by April 1820 , and his son John Page Wood met her in Geneva . Wood himself went to France at the end of May . At Saint-Omer , he frustrated the efforts of Henry Brougham , the Queen 's attorney-general , and Lord Hutchinson , who were on a government-backed mission to buy her off . Wood convinced the Queen with promises of the popular acclaim that would greet her . They arrived in London on 6 June . The diarist Charles Greville noted on 7 June : The Queen arrived in London yesterday at seven o' clock … She travelled in an open landau , Alderman Wood sitting by her side and Lady Anne Hamilton and another woman opposite . Everybody was disgusted at the vulgarity of Wood in sitting in the place of honour , while the Duke of Hamilton 's sister was sitting backwards in the carriage . Mother Wood , the Popular Procuress- ! , 1820 satirical print of Matthew Wood , dressed as a well-known brothel keeper Wood took a significant role in the political uproar that followed . He avoided , however , her trial . He was the subject , along with the Queen and her Italian lover Bartolomeo Pergami , of many lampoons . Theodore Lane created a series of scurrilous images of the trio . In Moments of Pleasure , Wood is seen dancing for the Queen . Moments of Pleasure , satirical engraving by Theodore Lane showing Lady Anne Hamilton , Matthew Wood and Caroline of Brunswick At the Queen 's funeral in London on 14 August 1821 , Wood 's son John , her chaplain , was in one of the main mourning coaches ; his father Matthew 's carriage was further back in the procession . That night the Queen 's coffin lay in St Peter 's Church , Colchester . Wood attended , bringing under his coat an engraved plate , made with the agreement of the Queen 's executors , Stephen Lushington and Thomas Wilde . They wished to have it attached to the coffin , but when a cabinet-maker came , Sir George Nayler , Clarenceux King of Arms would not allow it . Lushington was unable to resolve the stand-off , and a crowd gathered outside the church . In the end the plate was replaced by another , inscribed in Latin . On 15 August 1821 , the Queen 's coffin was taken to Harwich , and put on board HMS Glasgow . It arrived at Stade on 20 August , and ultimately was placed in a vault in Brunswick Cathedral . Supporters had managed while the coffin was at sea to place on it the inscription " Caroline , the injured Queen of England " . Accompanying it was the Rev. John Page Wood , who had been at the Queen 's deathbed . Jemmy Wood legal case In 1836 the Gloucester banker James 'Jemmy ' Wood , one of the richest men in the country , died , and Matthew Wood , though unrelated , was one of his executors and heirs . Jemmy Wood 's sister Elizabeth was an admirer of Queen Caroline and had already left property to Matthew Wood when she died c.1823 . In 1833 , Jemmy Wood gave Matthew Wood rent-free use of Hatherley House , owned by his bank ; Matthew Wood in turn allowed Jemmy to send all his mail under parliamentary franked cover . Matthew Wood campaigned for a baronetcy both for himself , and for Jemmy Wood ; and was written into Jemmy Wood 's will . In a resulting legal case , on 20 February 1839 Judge Herbert Jenner-Fust at the Arches Prerogative Court , London , " decided that the terms were made by conspiracy and fraud , and ordered that the whole of the immense property should be divided amongst two relations " . Some years later , this verdict was overturned on appeal by Lord Lyndhurst . The remaining estate of Jemmy Wood went according to the original will , with Matthew Wood receiving over £100,000 . Baronetcy Queen Victoria made Wood a baronet in her accession year of 1837 , of Hatherley House in Gloucestershire , the seat being the still-disputed country house . Marriage and children On 5 November 1795 Wood married Maria Page , the daughter of John Page of Woodbridge in Suffolk , by whom he had six children : 1. John Page Wood ( 1796-1866 ) , who became a Church of England vicar in Essex . His daughter Katharine Wood ( 1846-1921 ) is better known by her married name of Katharine O' Shea . Popularly known as Kitty O' Shea , her relationship with the Irish leader Charles Stewart Parnell led to a political scandal which caused his downfall . John 's son Evelyn Wood ( 1838-1919 ) was a Field Marshal and a recipient of the Victoria Cross . 2. Maria Elizabeth Wood ( born 1798 ) 3. Catharine Wood ( born 1799 ) 4 .
