Doingt (French pronunciation: [dwɛ̃]) is a commune in the Somme department of Hauts-de-France in northern France.

Geography

[edit]

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

[edit]

During World War I the settlement was destroyed. A Commonwealth cemetery is just outside the town. The village and its church has been rebuilt and, in 2023, a crucifix, salvaged from the ruins of the village's church by a British military chaplain after the Battle of the Somme and placed in All Saints' Church, Tinwell in Rutland, England, was returned to the new church.[3]
