In 2023, the church congregation returned a crucifix to the village of Doingt in northern France. The vicar in the 1930s, Percy Hooson, in the First World War had picked up the cross from the ruins of the church at Doingt following the Battle of the Somme. A local 16-year-old, on discovering its history, had suggested it should be returned to the rebuilt church at Doingt. [5] [6]
