The village of Solomidino is located 10 versts from the district town and 135 versts from the provincial center. Until 1764, it belonged to the Pereslavl Goritsky Monastery. In the land books of 1628-1629, a wooden, dilapidated church of the Great Martyr Alexander of Persia, built by the monastery, is mentioned. In the early 17th century, the church was rebuilt and consecrated in honor of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin, with an altar in honor of Saint Alexander of Persia. The land books of 1653 indicate that there were 100 households associated with this church, and in the census books of 1703, there were already 138 households. In 1733, another wooden warm church was built in Solomidino for winter time in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, consecrated in 1735.
In 1785, with the permission of Bishop Theophilact of Pereslavl, a stone temple with a bell tower was erected in Solomidino instead of the wooden churches. This temple has three altars: in the cold part, in honor of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin, in the warm altar, in the name of the Holy Martyr Alexander of Rome, and in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The church is well supplied with utensils, vestments, holy icons, and liturgical books. Special attention is drawn to the ancient Kazan Icon of the Holy Virgin with a silver-gilded vestment.
Church documents are kept in full order, with copies of the metric books since 1782 and confession lists since 1829. The staff includes a priest and a psalmist. Their maintenance is ensured by interest from the parish capital amounting to 943 rubles, 37 rubles from arable and haymaking land, 70 rubles from services and needs, and 485 rubles from bread collection, totaling 645 rubles per year. The priest has a church house, and the psalmist has his own.
The church owns 1 dessiatina of estate land and 32 dessiatinas of arable and haymaking land, of which about 6 dessiatinas are overgrown with forest and shrubs. There is no plan or land registry for the land. The parish includes the village of Solomidino and the villages of Novaya, Vesleva, Euseyeva, Voskresenskoye, and Nikitskoye, where according to the clerical records, there are 360 men and 424 women, all Orthodox. There is also a literacy school in the village.
