The old parish church stood above ground, but was removed about 1255 for the extension of the Cathedral eastwards.
At the Reformation the parish church was removed from the crypt to a chapel in St Paul's called "Jesus Chapel or Steeple," a place more sufficient for largeness and lightsomeness.
Burnt in the Fire and not rebuilt, the parish being united to St. Augustine Watling Street.
A Rectory. Patrons : Canons of St. Paul's, afterwards the Dean and Chapter.
The dedication is to St. Faith, the virgin martyr of Aquitaine, who suffered martyrdom in the time of Diocletian. Dedication attributable to French influence.
