Julian Edmund Tenison Woods b. 15 November 1832

Also known as Julian Edmund Tenison-Woods
  • Artist (Draughtsman)
Scientist and Roman Catholic priest, Woods was skilled at detailed sketches of his specimens and often sent them in with his scientific publications. His ecclesiastical life was far more controversial, he suffered many bouts of visions and torments, had frequent fall-outs with other parishioners until he was finally exiled by South Australian church authorities.
