St Mary's Church, Foy (SE View)Prior to the Saxon invasion, this place was dedicated to Saint Moi, becoming ‘Lann Timoi’, later transmuting to ‘Foy’.[1] According to Pevsner, the south porch (shown here) is early 14th century. There is a Perpendicular East window which is a deliberate copy of that at Sellack, by a mason in the 1640s acting for John ABRAHALL, who in 1640 made a bequest in his Will for ‘a fayre windowe contayning three lights and there place the same after the same manner as such a windowe is placed in the church of Sellack’.
