For many years he was secretary to the Huddersfield Woollen Manufacturers and Spinners Association . Wood was a Freethought free thinker and was active in a variety of local radical movements in Huddersfield , including the Fabians . He collected wage statistics over a broad field and published much of his collected material. E.C.R hodes . said in Wood s obituary that It is impossible, within the limits of a short obituary notice, to do justice to all the varied aspects of Wood s other activities or to his colourful personality. He had a wide range of interests, including the arts, music and above all cricket. He had made a close study of the history, and achieved marked success in the art and craft, of wood engraving making and shaping his own blocks, engraving them, and printing from them with his own press. He had a special enthusiasm for cricket, and had an amazing knowledge of the performances of the more prominent players of this and past generations. Those who were present when he entertained a few Fellows of the Society and leading cricketers after reading his paper on cricket scores in November 1944, will recall with delight the informal discussion which followed, and his exchange of opinions and reminiscences with a distinguished ex captain of All England test teams and other first class cricketers.
