The Sreten Church was located on lands belonging to the noble family of Khonenyevs and was likely especially revered by them. Their family burials from the 18th-19th centuries were here. Tombstones have been preserved: of Alexander Semyonovich, a brigadier of the Life Guards Preobrazhensky Regiment, as well as his brother and sister, Nikolai and Ekaterina Alexandrovna. After Ekaterina Alexandrovna Khonenova married Prince Ivan Semyonovich Kharpovitsky, a privy councilor and resident of the capital, the Kharpovitskys and their relatives also began to choose this place for burial. In the cold church behind the right choir rests I. S. Kharpovitsky. Above his grave slab hung an icon of St. John Climacus with the date 'February 17, 1864.' The estate manager of Kharpovitsky, Alexander Lvovich Voronov, who died in 1908 in St. Petersburg, bequeathed to transfer his remains to the cemetery of the Sreten Church.

In the 19th century, the parish included the village of Novo-Nikolaevskoye and the village of Muromtsevo, as well as the villages: Travyinka, Zhukovo, Stepanovo, Gorki, Galanin, Malinovka, Peredel, Bolshaya and Malaya Artemovka, Raiki. According to clerical records, there were 387 households in these settlements, with 1,386 men and 1,494 women living there.

In the mid-19th century, there were 6 households in the village of Novo-Nikolaevskoye. Since 1868, a zemstvo public school operated in the village, with 64 students enrolled.

The church library housed a Gospel from 1654 with the inscription: 'this book was added from the cathedral church of Vladimir. To St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, priest Matvey Semyonov with his children.' Another Gospel from 1766 had the inscription: 'this Gospel was made by the efforts of the widow of Rear Admiral Anna A. Zhidovinova in 1768, added to the church of the cemetery of Nikolai Novy.' There was also a monthly Menology with the inscription: 'donation of Marfa Petrovna Khonenova from 1761.'

In 1932, two priests were arrested: Fyodor Stavrovsky and Vasily Lavrov. In 1937, priest Fyodor Vinogradov was sentenced to execution, and he was seen off by the entire community. Despite the arrests, the church remained open for some time and was under the watch of parishioners. Contrary to prohibitions, wedding ceremonies were secretly held in the church. During the Great Patriotic War, participants of the war who died in the Muromtsevo hospital were buried at the Novo-Nikolsky cemetery.

In 1956-1957, the residents of the village of Stepanovo restored the church after a devastating storm, engaged in its renovation, and updated the painting in the Nikolsky chapel. However, in 1964, the church was unexpectedly closed and remained unattended. Looting began: icons were taken away, floors were pried open in search of gold, and frames were removed. Everything and everyone was looted. Near the church, a training ground was set up where students from the Muromtsevo Forestry Technical School learned to drive tractors and cars. Fires were lit in the church, and the walls were desecrated with inscriptions.

The church remained in neglect until 1988, when its cleansing began. The first liturgy was held in 1990. Currently, thanks to the efforts of parishioners, the church is being restored. The warm chapels, the facade of the church, the roof, and the dome have already been restored. Work continues on plastering and whitewashing the summer chapel.
