ActivityMuseum Staff: Department of Geology Appointed 2nd class assistant 24 Aug 1882; Assistant Keeper 23 Mar 1892; Keeper 19 Dec 1901; retired 1924.

Woodward received many honours. The Royal Society elected him a fellow in 1901 and awarded him a royal medal (1917); he served as president of a number of scientific societies and received several other medals, including the Lyell (1896) and Wollaston (1924) medals of the Geological Society, the prix Cuvier of the French Académie des Sciences (1918), and the Mary Clark Thompson medal of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington (1942). He also held honorary doctorates from the universities of Glasgow, St Andrews, Tartu, and Athens. He was knighted in 1924.

Woodward's reputation as a distinguished and successful scientist has been marred, though his fame increased, since exposure of the Piltdown fraud in the 1950s. In 1912 Charles Dawson, a Sussex solicitor, showed Woodward fragments of a human skull said to have come from Pleistocene gravels at Piltdown, Sussex. Woodward joined Dawson in excavations at the site and together they found further hominoid fragments, worked flints, and other mammalian fossils. In 1913 Woodward described ‘Piltdown man’ as Eoanthropus dawsoni, and with Dawson, Teilhard de Chardin, and others he continued to work the Piltdown site. Dawson died in 1916; nothing was found at Piltdown thereafter by Woodward or anyone else. The known parts of Piltdown man—a braincase of human type associated with an apelike lower jaw—became increasingly anomalous in comparison with human fossils found subsequently, and during the 1950s all the Piltdown fossils were shown to have been faked and/or planted at the site. Piltdown man comprises parts of an unusually thick human braincase and of an orang-utan lower jaw, stained and modified in various ways.

Following his early retirement in 1924, Woodward never again entered the British Museum, but he continued to work and travel until blindness overtook him in his final years. His library of nearly 10,000 works was purchased by University College, London.
RelationshipsElder son of Edward Woodward, silk dyer, and his wife, Margaret Smith, whose maiden name he used as an additional surname.
In 1894 he married Maud Leonora Ida (1874–1963), daughter of the geologist Harry Govier Seeley; they had one son, who entered the colonial service and died in 1924, and one daughter.
