R. Fielding Dodd served as a Second Lieutenant in the British Army's Machine Gun Corps during World War I.
In 1930, Dodd used a Wren revival style with an accentuated roofline at St Peter's College, Oxford.
[3] The Hannington Quad at the college was formed by the construction of an accommodation block designed by Dodd with the help of Sir Herbert Baker behind the older buildings in a red-brick neo-Georgian style.
[7] Also in 1937, he worked on extending the 16-century Chippinghurst Manor, a neo-vernacular country house near Little Milton, Oxfordshire.
There is now a Fielding Dodd Prize for "Outstanding Work" involving architecture at Oxford Brookes University.
