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.
