The village of Ves'kovo is located on the shores of Lake Pleshcheyevo. In the 17th century, it belonged to the Pereslavl Goritsky Monastery, and by the end of that century, it was acquired by Peter I. On the high bank near the church, a palace was built where the sovereign lived during the construction of the playful flotilla on the lake. Later, Empress Elizabeth Petrovna gifted the estate to the cornet Budyalov, and until 1833 it remained privately owned until it was purchased by a merchant from Vladimir.

The church in Ves'kovo existed as early as the beginning of the 17th century. The land survey books of 1628-1629 mention: "In the village, there is a wooden church of St. George the Martyr, with a tented roof, and in the church, there are icons and royal doors, and local images..."

In 1644, a new church was built in honor of the same saint. However, in 1734, the Georgievskaya church burned down, as did the warm church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the time of construction of which is unknown. During the fire, the holy icons of both churches were saved. In 1735, the wooden church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was restored, and in 1742, the cold church of St. George the Great Martyr.

In the early 19th century, a stone temple with a bell tower was erected on the site of the two wooden churches. It had two altars: in the cold one, of St. George the Great Martyr and Victorious, and in the warm altar, of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. According to the staff, the church had a priest and a psalmist. Their maintenance was ensured by income from arable and haymaking land amounting to up to 75 rubles, interest from the parish capital of 10 rubles, services and sacramental corrections up to 345 rubles, as well as a grain collection of 33 rubles, totaling 470 rubles per year. Additionally, the priest received heating from the community. The priest's house was located on communal land. The parish included the village of Ves'kovo, and the villages of Sokolinikovo, Dubovitsa, and Dyadkina.
