It is dedicated to St Fides \(Saint Foy\) <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/zzdeco/1gold/10c/stfoy1.html'\)" href="/html/zzdeco/1gold/10c/stfoy1.html">whose statue</a> made from gold and jewels, dating from around 1000 is still an object of veneration. The oldest part of the church is the chancel area, and both its interior and exterior constitute a highly complex and impressive work of art.
