I’m kind of half surprised they didn’t ask the Queen to do it as I suspect that was the easiest thing to do. I once saw her signature on something much more trivial than this…

It is very beautiful, and its location certainly saved it - from the fire if nothing else. But it is far from intact - the nave is gone entirely and the east end is restoration, not original.

I don’t know what reasonably priced means in this context but any of the smaller Livery Companies in London might be good as might some of the City Churches.

Also, not the biggest issue, but Hogwarts as realised (apparently canonically) in the films is a terrible piece of architecture - a Frankenstein’s monster of bits of real buildings (poor old Durham Cathedral) and the designer’s diseased imaginings.
