The dome was badly damaged by fire when only a year old and had to be extensively repaired. On 7 July 1932. Later Victorian buildings are by John William Simpson. The Memorial Dining Hall was opened by the future King George VI & Queen Elizabeth as a monument to former pupils who had died in the Great War. In the past 20 years it has been used to commemorate deaths in all conflict countries, typically the wreaths for these countries are placed by pupils from those countries. For a number of years this building was one of the largest unsupported domes in Europe and it has very interesting acoustics. Until the 1990s the entire school of over 700 pupils dined within this building at a single sitting for breakfast, lunch and supper all brought to a silence for the grace before and after each meal by a massive brass howitzer shell, captured from a German gun emplacement during World War I which had been converted into a gong. A gilded plaster boss in the centre of this dome represents an oak tree being struck by lightning. Known as Little Lightning Oak this decoration is a representation of Lightning Oak, the massive oak tree which stands on Terrace, the area of grass in front of the School and visible in this photograph. This tree was struck by lightning and all but destroyed but, miraculously, re-sprouted. The tree was seen as a metaphor for the school, decimated by war but growing back stronger.
