Церква св. Параскеви збудована у 1891 р. у нині затопленому селі В’юнище Переяславського повіту. У 1971 р. перевезена, а у 1973 р. встановлена на природному підвищенні рівнинного плато лесової тераси у межах скансену.
Історія церкви у селі В’юнище пов’язана із родиною Дараганів. Наприкінці ХVII ст. Федір Дараган оселився поблизу старого русла Дніпра за 9 верст від Переяслава. У 1708 р. він отримав у володіння всі угіддя, що розташовувались навколо хутора «В’юнищанського». У зв’язку із швидким збільшенням кількості населення у межах окресленої території, військові старшини Петро Дараган, Аксенфієв, Данько, Савенко та Бойко вирішили побудувати дерев’яну церкву. Вона була закладена на трисажневій відстані від першого поселення Савенка. Храм освятили в ім’я святої Великомучениці Параскеви.

Saint John at Kaneo is a Macedonian Orthodox church situated on the cliff over Kaneo Beach overlooking Lake Ohrid in the city of Ohrid, North Macedonia. The church is dedicated to John of Patmos, the writer of Revelation, who has been by some considered to be the same person as John the Apostle. The construction date of the church remains unknown but documents detailing the church property suggest that it was built before the year 1447. Archaeologists believe that the church was constructed some time before the rise of the Ottoman Empire very likely in the 13th century. Restoration work in 1964 led to the discovery of frescoes in its dome.
Ayot St Lawrence old church in Hertfordshire is a picturesque ruin, in the village of the same name, due to the strong dislike of the local squire. Sir Lionel Lyde hated the old building, which was visible from his home, and had it replaced in the late 18th century by a Greek revivalist church on the other side of his manor house. The old church was partly torn down for building materials and was partly ruined for 'romantic effect' in the early 19th century - this process only ending in 1999 when the Ames family donated the graveyard to the Ayot Old Church Preservation Trust. Since then the trust has used English Heritage and Heritage Lottery Fund to conserve the ruins and open the grounds. The old church dates from around 1150AD and was originally a nave and short chancel only. It was remodelled in Early English style in the mid-13th century and a small north aisle was added. A north chapel was added in the early 14th century and the chapel was extended. In turn the former north aisle wall was moved further north and continued the line of the north chapel's wall in the early 15th century. The present tower was finally added over the north aisle about 75 years later, probably in the late 15th or very early 16th century.
The beautiful Church of St Andrew in Cotterstock, near Oundle in Northamptonshire, is Grade I-Listed and dates from the 12th century - the Norman era, though the main period of construction was in the following two centuries. It features a splendid Norman doorway at this end of the west tower. Above this is a 19th century statue of St Andrew. A 14th century chancel was added after the foundation of a college at Cotterstock in 1337. Like so many English churches, St Andrew's underwent a major restoration in the second half of the 19th century, when it was also extended.
