James Woodhouse was an English expatriate who spent the majority of his adulthood living abroad in South Italy and Corfu. While in Corfu, he served as secretary of the island's government. Upon his death in 1866, he bequeathed part of his collection of antiquities to the British Museum, an early gift that formed a foundation for the museum's Greek and Roman department. The remainder was sold at auction in 1868.
