[[The Telegraph]] obituary<ref>The Telegraph Newspaper 22nd December 2000</ref> described him as ''one of the most colourful and underrated [[English people|English]] architects of recent years''. Obituaries also appeared in [[The Times]]<ref>The Times Newspaper 1st January 2001</ref> and in [[The Independent]]<ref>The Independent Newspaper 2nd January 2001</ref>, the latter one penned by the prominent architectural historian and critic [[Gavin Stamp]]. Another heavyweight writer and architectural critic, [[Kenneth Powell]] wrote in the late 1980’s that Roderick ''would merit rather more than a footnote when the history of late 20th Century British architecture comes to be written''<ref>See Obituary in The Independent Newspaper 2nd January 2001</ref>. At the twilight of his career, he was awarded a [[RIBA]] Award, (the gold-standard of architectural awards in the UK) for the design of a house in the [[Surrey Hills]], completed with his sometime architectural partner [[Michael Blower]]. Perhaps though, his legacy is limited in that he never completed a whole building from scratch and in so far as what remains of his work as an [[architect]] are wholly interiors, extensions, alterations and extensions to pre-existing buildings. Fortunately, many of these are [[Listed Buildings]] and they will survive as a testament to his career.
