This church was built in 1904 in the so-called "Byzantine style". Most of the church was built in 1913-16, but the north aisle and transept were not completed until 1927. At that time, this was the Anglican church of St Osmund.
In 2000, the church authorities declared that the building had become too dangerous. Services were discontinued and in 2002 St Osmund's Church was declared redundant. The building was put up for sale and sold into the jurisdiction of the Eastern Orthodox Church, first to the Romanian and then to the Antiochian authorities, in whose hands it remains to this day.
Today it is known under three names:
St Osmond's Church,
St Stephen the Great Church,
St Dunstan Orthodox Church
