Doingt is a commune on the banks of the River Somme. The settlement was destroyed during the First World War. A Commonwealth cemetery is located just outside the town. The village and its church have been rebuilt and in 2023 a crucifix, rescued from the ruins of the village 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.

The Église Notre-Dame De L’Assemption is a Catholic church located in the commune of Doingt, in the east of the Somme department, near Péronne. The church was built in the second quarter of the 20th century and was inaugurated on 26 October 1930. It was designed by the architect Maurice Quentin and is built in the Neo-Romanesque style with a traditional basilica plan. The facade of the church has features of Romanesque art, such as sober and narrow windows, buttresses, a circular portico with a typed sculpture representing the Virgin surrounded by angels, arched folds resting on a column on each side, and a rose window above the portico. The church has a massive and projecting bell tower which is reminiscent of Romanesque bell towers by its structure and sober decoration. The interior of the church is decorated with a mural by Gustave Riquet representing the Assumption of the Virgin. The church was restored in 2016-2017.
