The Russian Orthodox church on Clarence Road was built in 2002–2003 to a design by the architects Peter Barrett and Natalia Maximova (Archimax). It replaced a dilapidated parish church set up in Longsight by Russian refugees of the post-war years; in 1993 the parish moved from the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia to the Sourozh Diocese of the Moscow Patriarchate. Regular services in the new church began in autumn 2003.

Русский православный храм на Кларенс-роуд построен в 2002–2003 годах по проекту архитекторов Питера Барретта и Натальи Максимовой (бюро Archimax). Он возведён вместо обветшавшей приходской церкви, которую устроили в Лонгсайте русские беженцы послевоенных лет; в 1993 году приход перешёл из Русской православной церкви заграницей в Сурожскую епархию Московского патриархата. Регулярные службы в новом храме начались осенью 2003 года.
