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