The Project
Holy Trinity Church, Guildford, is a historic Anglican church located in Surrey. As the civic church for the town, it needed a discreet and powerful AV upgrade to support worship, civic services, and streaming. The project required careful integration with Grade I listed architecture and multipurpose use cases.
