The village of Kuvezino is located 3 versts from the village of Ovsyannikovo, 32 versts from the district town of Kovrov, and 93 versts from Vladimir. In the village, there is a stone church with a wooden fence and bell tower, built by the efforts of the parishioners in 1822. The church has two altars: one in the cold part, dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, and the other in the warm chapel, in honor of the Ascension of the Lord.
The church is modest in its furnishings, vestments, holy icons, and liturgical books. The church documents are kept in order: copies of the metric books have been available since 1803, confession lists since 1829, and an inventory of church property compiled in 1884 is also stored in the church. The income for the Ovsyannikovo parish amounts to: 4 rubles in interest from church capital, 15 rubles from land, and 130 rubles for sacramental services, totaling about 150 rubles per year. The parish includes the village and the villages of Stepanovo, Suvorikha, Zarchikha, and Malchikha, located no further than 1 verst from the church. The parish has 49 households, 122 men, and 153 women.
