Who is Frederick Codd?

Frederick Codd was a British Gothic Revival architect and speculative builder who designed and built many Victorian houses in North Oxford, England.

Codd was born in 1832 in East Dereham, Norfolk. He was initially based in London but he was active in Oxford by 1865.

He was a pupil of William Wilkinson, another North Oxford architect, and their styles are similar. He designed houses on the west side of Banbury Road, in Bradmore Road, Canterbury Road, and Norham Gardens, amongst other locations.

In central Oxford, Codd designed shops and offices in King Edward Street south of the High Street during 1871โ€“5 for Oriel College. He is also involved in the rebuilding of Queen Street during 1875โ€“8.

Woodperry House in Oxfordshire was enlarged in 1879โ€“80 when the porch and two pedimented wings were added, designed by Codd, then an assistant of Sir Thomas Jackson. He lost the competition to build the Oxford High School for Boys in George Street to Jackson.

In Oxford, Codd initially lived in Cowley Road. Later, in 1867, he moved to a semi-detatched villa of his own design at 39 Banbury Road, on the corner with Bevington Road.
