Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Dormition

The Russian Orthodox Church, or the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Mother of God and All Saints, was initially an Anglican temple, which in 1955 was transferred to the Orthodox believers. In 2016, the general renovation was completed, and the dedication was made by the Moscow Patriarch himself and all of Russia, Cyril. The ceremony was part of the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the presence of Orthodoxy in Great Britain.

The basilica temple (including separate roofs of the upper nave and lower aisles) was erected in the years 1848–1849 according to the design of Lewis Villymy in the Italian-Romanesque style. The current form, modeled on the Basilica of St. Zenon in Verona, the church was given a reconstruction carried out in 1891-1892.

Inside the council there are sgraffit and stained glass windows by Heywood Sumner, a painter, illustrator and craftsman closely associated with the Arts and Crafts movement. The unusually high Corinthian columns are also noteworthy.
