Welcome to the East Midlands Earth Structures Society's website.

Members are a mixture of building owners, historians, conservation architects and specialists involved in repairs.  The society covers Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, with very different earth building traditions for each county.  Mud and stud is unique to Lincolnshire.

The society has been established for approximately 13 years, and the EMESS philosophy is to repair not replace.  Usually there are four meetings held during the year where members have the opportunity to get together and discuss projects they are working on currently or about to embark upon.  Demonstrations and talks also take place, from time to time at various locations.

Please feel free to look around.
