The Parish has been established in Nottingham since 1995, in the charge of Fr David Gill, with our assistant priest Fr Peter Brameld. Since the summer of 2006 we have been under the care of Archbishop Gabriel of Comana, with Bishop Basil of Amphipolis as our local bishop.
In 1999 we purchased part of a Methodist building and with the help of many generous and regular donors we have been able to convert the former hall into a beautiful temple area.

The icon shown here on the left is situated at the entrance to the temple area, in the reception hall. It was presented to us by the Community of St Anastasia in St Petersburg, on the occasion of the parish visit to St Petersburg in 1997. The beautifully carved icon surround is the work of Viktor Beizerau.
