The Faubourg d'Amiens was already a killing ground when the British relieved the French army in Arras and the surrounding area in 1916. The French cemetery has now disappeared and only soldiers from the Commonwealth countries are buried there, as well as some German prisoners of war. The Memorial commemorates the 35,928 British, New Zealand and South African fighters who fell in this area and whose bodies have not been recovered. Be sure to check out the flying Services memorial in the semi-circular building close to the Pierre du Souvenir. The square column crowned with a globe bears the names of the 991 British air force pilots who died in the First World War.

Rebuilt in 1792, the church was partly destroyed during the revolution after seeing its furniture piled up and burned inside; it is said that only the walls remained. Its patron saint is St Quentin. The church was purchased by the son Aimable Billot de Lattre on 7 Floréal year 9, (May 7, 1801) from the Fabrique, for the sum of 58,300 francs. The bell tower, although restored in recent years, still appears to be the bell tower of the old church which dates back to a very remote period. It bears the stamp of the 13th century. The current bell dates from 1890 (700kg) It is called Marie, was baptized by Mr. LEFIN, dean of Avesnes-le-Comte, and had as godfather Mr. Brazier, Mayor, and as godmother Me Desaulty. As a relic, the church firstly has a considerable relic (femur bone) of St Quentin, a gift made by the church of St Quentin to Mr. Flajollet priest of Lattre at the beginning of this century as well as a fairly important relic from St Vaast, one from St Arnaud and one from St Wulgan. There was once a very popular pilgrimage in honor of St Quentin. It is difficult to assign the time when this pilgrimage began. But as far back as the church's account registers go, that is to say in the year 1570, there is question of the income made by the sale to pilgrims of coupons to burn and images on the days of the feasts of St Quentin.

At the beginning of the 18th century, the flow of the Crinchon (river of about twenty kilometers which flows between Bailleulmont and Saint-Nicolas before flowing into the Scarpe) is weak, irregular and its waters are of poor quality. The city of Arras needs healthy and abundant water for the inhabitants and for the drinking troughs of the cavalry barracks. In 1723, at his request, the springs that gush out in Brétencourt, a hamlet of Rivière, were collected in a reservoir, it is a vast rectangular basin surrounded by brick walls now called "Carré des sources". Its dimensions: 33 m long, 11 m wide and 8 m deep. The works were carried out by the Military Engineering on the orders of the king, who financed them, as recalled by a sandstone sealed in a wall: "In the year 1723, under the reign of Louis XV, the sources of the Crinchon were sought and enclosed in this basin at the expense of the king" Le Carré des sources delivers 64 liters per second of water that is extremely fresh and remarkably clear. The stream thus formed crosses the park of the castle and joins the initial bed of the Crinchon, after a course of 500 m. The flow being capricious, the system was completed by the digging of a few artesian wells, from the end of the 18th century.
