Aged 24 years in 1431.

Heir to his brother Henry, John Wodehouse (the younger) became the head of the family. He was a man of considerable note, and was much employed by Henry VI. In 1448 he was sent to Calais with five others to treat with the ambassadors of the Duchess of Burgundy, and again with four others in 1449.... John Wodehous was again employed in 1458 on a similar embassy....

A deed of 11 Henry VI (1432) mentions him as son of John Wodehouse deceased, and also his brothers Giles, Jerome, and Thomas. He lived much in Croffeld, or Crowfield, and Bocking Ash, in Suffolk; he is styled John Wodehous, Esquire, of Croffeld, in Suffolk, in a deed of 19 Henry VI (1440). ²
