Biographical Details	Woodruffe was paid £23 by Lord Weymouth for work at his house in Old Windsor (Gunnis 1968, 443, citing Longleat Accts). He was buried in St John the Baptist, Windsor and his son John II succeeded to the family business. A letter to John II from Thomas Gayfere II dated 1743, reminded him that he owed money to Gayfere’s master, Andrews Jelfe. Gayfere wrote ‘My master imagines that it may have slipt your memory, so desires you would order ye payment and send him word by next post’ (BM Ad MS 27, 587). Literary References: Gunnis 1968, 443
