Sir Armine Wodehouse, 5th Baronet, portrait c.1759 by David Morier
Wodehouse was the son of Sir John Wodehouse, 4th Baronet, and Mary Fermor. His unusual first name reflects his connection with the Armine baronets through his grandmother Anne Armine. He was elected to the House of Commons for Norfolk in 1737, a seat he held until 1768. In 1754 he succeeded his father in the baronetcy and to the family seat of Kimberley Hall in Norfolk. He also served as colonel in the Eastern Regiment of the Norfolk Militia.
Wodehouse married Letitia Bacon, daughter of Sir Edmund Bacon, 6th Baronet, in 1738. He died in 1777 and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son John, who was created Baron Wodehouse in 1797 and who was the great-grandfather of statesman John Wodehouse, 1st Earl of Kimberley. Wodehouse's second son, Reverend Philip Wodehouse (1745–1811), was the great-grandfather of the author P. G. Wodehouse, while his third son, Thomas Wodehouse, was the grandfather of the colonial administrator Sir Philip Wodehouse.
