The village of Alferyevo is located on the border with the Yaroslavl province, 150 versts from the provincial center and 26 versts from the district town. According to the census books of 1678, at the end of the 17th century, the village belonged to the scribe Titus Konstantinovich Nepostavov and had only two peasant households with eight men.

The church in Alferyevo existed even earlier; the land books of 1628 mention the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. In 1709, a new church was built, also consecrated in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. In 1772, thanks to the efforts of the owner Vasily Stepanovich Kartsev, another church was erected in honor of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin. Both churches and the bell tower were wooden.

In 1814, a stone temple with a bell tower was built on the site of these wooden churches, which still exists today. The temple has three altars: the main one in honor of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin, and in the warm chapels, in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and St. Dmitry of Rostov.

The church is well supplied with utensils, vestments, holy icons, and liturgical books. All church documents are preserved: copies of the metric books since 1795 and confession lists since 1829. Since 1890, a separate clergy has been operating in the parish, consisting of a priest and a psalmist. Their maintenance is ensured by the bread collection from parishioners (up to 50 rubles), income from land cultivation by peasants (up to 60 rubles), services and rituals (up to 200 rubles), as well as interest from the clergy's capital (12 rubles from 400 rubles), totaling 325 rubles per year. The houses for the priest and psalmist belong to the church.

The church lands include 33 desyatinas 638 square sazhen of arable and haymaking land, 900 square sazhen under the church and cemetery, 768 sazhen under roads, 1380 sazhen under gardens and barnyards, totaling 34 desyatinas 1226 sazhen. There is no separate plan for the land; it is indicated in the general plan with the peasants. The parish includes the village and the village of Rykova, located 2 versts from the church, where the clerical records list 176 men and 203 women, all Orthodox.
