Is there any evidence that many people knew about it before the appearance in the film?

No such evidence is required.
It has a value well in excess of £5k *now* - prosecution and defence agreed so. That’s all that’s necessary for the offences to be dealt with on the more serious scale for criminal damage.
It is also relevant that the National Trust and English Heritage have now spent far in excess of this on mitigating measures.
