Welcome to the website of the Ecclesiastical Architects and Surveyors Association.


The Ecclesiastical Architects and Surveyors Association (EASA) is a learned society, founded in 1872 as the Ecclesiastical Surveyors Association.

The Association encourages its members to take advantage of continuing professional development initiatives relating to their work on ecclesiastical buildings and ensures that its meetings provide adequate and varied input to satisfy this requirement.

Members share a desire to strive for excellence, to learn from each other and to improve the quality of service to their clients. The Association welcomes applications for membership from Architects, Surveyors and allied professions.
