R. Fielding Dodd served as a Second Lieutenant in the British Army's Machine Gun Corps during World War I.^[2]

Dodd was most active as an architect in the 1930s. 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.^[4] In 1934, he completed the south side of the quadrangle at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, marking the 700th anniversary of St Edmund's consecration as the Archbishop of Canterbury.^[5] In 1935, he designed the Art School at Stowe School.^[6] In 1937, he added a neo-Georgian frontage to the Acland Hospital in North Oxford.^[7] Also in 1937, he worked on extending the 16-century Chippinghurst Manor, a neo-vernacular country house near Little Milton, Oxfordshire.^[8][9]

Dodd co-founded the architectural firm R. Fielding Dodd & Stevens.^[10] Later, the firm became Stevens, Flavel & Beard.^[11] The firm was based in Turl Street, Oxford.

There is now a Fielding Dodd Prize for "Outstanding Work" involving architecture at Oxford Brookes University.^[12]
