В временах трудности, (not enough context. You mean the times when he had to fight against the witches or in general always when he faced difficulties or just when his heart was heavy or something else? Maybe if I had been experienced enough in English to know what usually "times of difficulty" means, I could have translated that sentence, but I'm not, so I can't translate) Фёдор отдыхал в его сада. Дом попа была большым здением противоположенным дома дворянина деревна. Фёдор жил в большом строении (better доме especially if that was a building that he alone lived in), что стояло напротив дома старосты (I think for some reason you meant starosta for nobleman, didn't you? Maybe you should look up the word староста (and starosta) in a explanatory dictionary. The word "дворянин" doesn't fit definitely) Дом попа имел внутренний сад с низкой стеной, и внешний сад с живой изгоргдь. Этот дом имел внутренний сад, окруженный низкой оградой (I don't know what about English, but in Russian "wall" in literal sense means something made of stone, bricks, concrete etc.), и внешний сад, имевший живую изгородь. Фёдору нравилось работать в саду, например, самому (note the ending - the dative case) сажать деревья. (I think it's better to give at least two examples)
One of Fyodor's first churches was the church of St. Alban the martyr. In Fyodor's time witches still were found in country areas, maybe even now they are there. This was a source of difficulty for Fyodor. In times of difficulty, Fyodor relaxed in his garden. The house of the priest was a big building opposite the house of the nobleman of the village. The priest's house had an inner garden with a low wall, and an outer garden with a hedge. Fyodor liked to work in the garden, to plant trees himself, for example.
