Henry Woodcock remains a historical figure of some obscurity whose biographical details are sparse. However, his work has contributed significantly to the literature of his time, primarily through his detailing of the life of John Ellerthorpe in the 'The Hero of the Humber; Or, The History of the Late Mr. John Ellerthorpe'. Woodcock's style in this narrative demonstrates a penchant for heroism and moral virtue, reflecting the literary tastes of his era that favored biographies of notable figures whose lives served as moral exemplars. Within his work, Woodcock combines elements of storytelling with historical documentation, providing a vivid portrait of Ellerthorpe, who was renowned for his bravery as a lifeboatman on the Humber River.
