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?
Need help with Barnsley table -- anybody attend Bedales?

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.
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.
