According to the land registry book of 1625, at that time the church was wooden and had an altar of the Myrrh-bearing Women. There was another St. George's church in Tula, 'on Rzhavets', and the name of the church in the Zarechye area specified: 'under Uzhovo swamp'. Later, other specifications were added: 'on Khoper', 'in Kazennaya sloboda', 'on the armory sloboda'. In 1696, a stone church in honor of the great martyr George stood on this site, with an altar in honor of the Apostle John the Theologian. In 1757, due to its dilapidation, the church was dismantled and a new, larger and sturdier one was begun in honor of the Descent of the Holy Spirit, with altars of John the Theologian and St. George the Victorious. Services in the altars began in 1766, and the church was fully completed by 1769, when a bell tower with eight bells was also erected. The construction was funded by donations from parishioners, among whom Anton Pastukhov stood out. The Velsky merchants actively participated in decorating the church. In 1882, a new iconostasis was installed in the Theological altar at the expense of the parishioners, and in 1886 in the George altar. In the first half of the 1890s, the main iconostasis was updated and the church was painted. In the 18th century, this was the largest parish of Goncharna and Kuznetska slobodas, including a third of the population of Zarechye and residents of the villages of Kurulovka and Klokova, and in 1856, Gorelki and Protopopova joined it. Among the parishioners were the Krasilnikov brothers, owners of factories in Kazan and Ufa districts and Orenburg province. In terms of the number and wealth of decorations, the church surpassed all Zarechye churches. In the mid-19th century, it had over 17 poods of silver utensils, although of low-grade silver. In the 'Tula Diocesan Gazette' of 1866, Archpriest G. Panov noted that the church with its altars was painted, the iconostases gilded, and the altar was covered with sheet silver. The silver vestment for the altar was made in 1847 through the efforts of benefactors, especially church elder Ivan Ignatievich Samsonov. Some vestments had memorial significance. On the temple image 'Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles' was a silver vestment with an inscription about the events of 1812, and the image of the Holy Trinity was adorned with a vestment mentioning the fires of 1834. The stone almshouse at the church was demolished in 1830 due to dilapidation, and in 1863-1864 a new two-story building was constructed, which housed a shelter for the elderly and a school for children. The 'Tula Diocesan Gazette' lists 59 donors for the construction of the almshouse and school. The largest contribution was made by church elder Mikhail Ivanovich Tulyakov. Architect I. Pastukhov developed the building project free of charge and supervised the construction. The school opened on July 4, 1865, where children were taught reading, catechism, arithmetic, and other subjects. In 1895, a church-parish school began operating at the church. The street where the church was located was called Georgievskaya, and before the revolution, there were two such streets in Tula. In 1924, Georgievskaya Street in Zarechye was renamed after Platon Lunacharsky. The Georgievskaya church was closed in 1930, and soon the bell tower was dismantled. For a long time, the building housed offices and warehouses. Its current appearance is sad. Pre-revolutionary photographs of the church have not survived, but specialists suggest that it was built in the Baroque style, although the surviving decor belongs to Classicism. In 1991, the church building was recognized as a monument of history and culture of regional significance. In the summer of 2019, the dilapidated building was transferred to the Tula Diocese for restoration. In August and September 2019, prayers were held for the beginning of the church's restoration.
