Kumino is located 5 versts from the district town and 60 versts from the provincial city, on the banks of the Babka River.
The village of Kumino is first mentioned in a charter of Tsar Mikhail Fyodorovich, issued to the Yuriev Arkhangelsk Men's Monastery in 1625. It follows that Kumino was the estate of the Arkhangelsk Monastery as early as the 16th century. Tsar Ivan the Terrible granted the monastery an unjudged charter for Kumino and other estates. Later, Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich issued a similar charter. However, both charters were burned in the early 17th century when Yuriev was destroyed by the Poles and Lithuanians. Tsar Mikhail Fyodorovich, at the request of Archimandrite Makarii, confirmed the rights and privileges of the monastery's estates. Kumino remained under the monastery's ownership until 1764.
In the 17th century, there was a church in the village in honor of the holy martyrs Boris and Gleb. In the records of the Patriarchal Treasury for 1628, it is mentioned as "the church of Boris and Gleb in the village of Kumino in the estate of the Arkhangelsk Monastery." In the refusal records of the patriarchal books from 153 and 155 years, it is stated that the church was wooden, with icons, books, candles, vestments, and bells. On the church land were the house of priest Prokofy Semenov, the house of deacon Senka Fyodorov, and the cell of the prosphora-baker Akulinytsia Ivanova's daughter. There were 20 quarters of arable land and 20 bundles of hay. The wooden church existed until the early 19th century.
In 1803, with the blessing of Bishop Ksenofont of Vladimir, the parishioners built a stone church with a bell tower. In the 1860s, a stone fence was erected. The church has two altars: in the cold part, in honor of the Epiphany of the Lord, and in the warm refectory, in honor of the holy righteous princes Boris and Gleb.
Among the ancient church belongings, a silver altar cross from 1796, a gilded silver ark from 1788, and three gospels published in 1730, 1751, and 1789 have been preserved.
Church documents, including copies of metric books from 1780 and confession lists from 1829, are kept intact. An inventory of church property was compiled in 1880 and is also stored in the church.
The church land includes three dessiatinas of estate land and 33 dessiatinas of haymaking and arable land. The land plan is kept in the sacristy, but there is no land registry.
According to the staff schedule, a priest and a psalmist serve at the church. The income of the clergy amounts to 603 rubles per year: 240 rubles from the land and 363 rubles for sacramental services.
In Kumino, there are 82 households, 246 men, and 250 women. Since 1892, a literacy school has been operating in the village, located in the priest's house.
