Need help with Barnsley table -- anybody attend Bedales?

I'm building a table copied after the library tables designed by Sidney
Barnsley for the library at Bedales School in Hampshire, England. I have
one picture from a relatively high angle. I can't see any details of the
upper stringers if any and the top attachment. Anybody have any other
pictures they can share?

I've just checked my copy of Mary Greensted's "Gimson and the
Barnsleys". There's a picture of the Bedales library, but the only
table visible is tiny and shows no details at all.

You could try contacting the Barnsley workshops (still extant, and now
largely a training school for cabinetmakers) or Cheltenham museum and
art gallery, who have large collections of Barnsley and Gimson
material.
