YOU can see St Mary’s Church in Builth from a whole new perspective, thanks to the latest drone technology.

The footage was shot by local company Tremio Aerial Photography, and gives viewers a unique look at the town centre church from on high.

St Mary’s vicar Father Neil Hook said: “We are all used to seeing our church from both the outside and inside. Some have even been up the church tower to gaze down from the pinnacle in all of its height. But now thanks to Ben from Tremio Aerial Photography worshippers in St Mary’s Builth can really get an ‘angel’s eye view’ of what St Mary’s looks like from above. This offers unique chance to not only see the church from above but the churchyard and how St Mary’s is situated in the centre of the town.”

Using the latest in unmanned aerial vehicles, or ‘drones’, Ben and his team produce incredible aerial images in 4K quality.

“Working from ground level to 400ft they they also work indoors as well as outdoors. So when Ben approached St Mary’s to ask if he could take a video to expand the portfolio for his new business, members were happy to oblige.

“Churches have been working for a little while on using drones as assets in surveying church buildings, our neighbouring Diocese of Llandaff is running a ‘pilot’ project at the moment.

“This video is more tourism-based for visitors to Builth and locals to see what the church is like, although the churchwarden has already spotted some gutters which need cleaning,” Fr Neil said.
