Legend has it that during his two-year exile in France, Saint Thomas of Canterbury stayed in the commune.
The church of Saint Thomas of Canterbury dates from the eighteenth century. Its bell dates from 1679 and has been classified since 1908 as an objet historique by the Ministry of Culture.{{Base Palissy|PM62000761|cloche}} A 16th-century wooden statue of Becket was similarly classified in 1911{{Base Palissy|PM62000762|statue : saint Thomas de Canterbury}} A painted wooden sculpture of Saint Joseph and the infant Jesus{{Base Palissy|PM62000764|saint Joseph et l'Enfant Jésus}} and an early-18th-century chalice are also listed by the Ministry of Culture.{{Base Palissy|PM62000763|calice}}
In March 1974, the church was the victim of a major theft, with some of the stolen objects eventually being found in Belgium. In April 2015 plans were put forward for a €29,000 restoration of the church, including reinforcement of the framework of the belfry, its waterproofing and roof repairs. Repairs to the nave were also planned.{{cite web |url=http://www.lavoixdunord.fr/archive/recup%3A%252Fregion%252Fguisy-le-clocher-de-l-eglise-a-besoin-de-travaux-de-ia36b49154n2798313 |title=Guisy : le clocher de l'église a besoin de travaux de réfection |work=La Voix du Nord |trans-title=Guisy: church bell tower needs refurbishment |date=28 April 2015 |access-date=26 July 2015 |language=fr}}
