Life

In the 1780s he was architect to Princess Amelia, and exhibited architectural designs. In 1790 he was resident at Great Scotland Yard, moving to Finchley Common a few years later.[1]

During the 1790s Oldfield made drawings in Hertfordshire, on commission; after the patron John Meyrick's death in 1805 they were bought by Thomas Dimsdale (Baron Dimsdale, a Russian title that he used in regular fashion by permission from 1813).[1][2]

Later Oldfield had financial troubles, and was imprisoned for debt. Two other patrons were Richard Gough and Thomas Baskerfield.[1]

Works

He collaborated with Richard Randall Dyson on History and Antiquities of the Parish of Tottenham High Cross, London, 1790 (2nd ed. 1792); and was the author of Anecdotes of Archery, Ancient and Modern, London, 1791. To him also is attributed Camberwell Church, without place or date of publication.Шаблон:Sfn
