Again I started with the wizard and set  b, w and n. When I set the neutral I watched the hue clock carefully to ensure I found the best I could. I used the brightness slider.  That’s it. I can see from the curves how I could have achieved this manually.

Greetings Di,
Not too bad for using the Wizard...

Some things to note...
It's a touch blue...See my screen shot attached.  I'm not sure where your neutral was set but some things to consider...Black, White and shades of "Known" grey are all good candidates for a neutral.  remember to not pick a neutral based on its looks but rather what it should look like. 

In my shot a set a neutral on the water tower because the white paint in the shadow "should look" neutral.  Also note that I bumped the shadows end of the red curve a bit because the darker areas looked blue even still to me...It is kind of subjective but I hope you see an improvement in the image.  Also note the patina on the copper domes looking a big more green...
