Geography
Doingt is situated on the D937 and D199 junction, on the banks of the river Somme, some 30 miles (48 km) east of Amiens.
History
Completely destroyed during World War I. A Commonwealth cemetery is just outside the town. The village has been rebuilt and, in 2023, a crucifix, salvaged from the ruins of the old church by a British soldier after the Battle of the Somme, will be returned to the new church by the congregation of All Saints' Church, Tinwell in Rutland.[3]
