LÉCHELLE
Département : Pas-de-Calais
Origin/meaning
The arms were proposed in 1994 and I have no idea whether the municipality actually adopted the arms.
The village historically was a possession of the Abbey of Arrouaise and subsequently from the 16th century of the Abbey of Honnecourt. The lion and the crescent are taken from the arms of the first abbey, the pilgrim's staff is taken from the arms of the Honnecourt Abbey.
Literature : Bouchet et al, 1994
