BLINGEL

Département : Pas-de-Calais

Blingel.jpg

Origin/meaning :
The arms were proposed in 1996; I have no idea whether the arms were actually adopted.

The golden fleur-de-lis is taken from the arms of the Blangy Abbey, to which the village belonged for many centuries. The lower half shows a fountain, for the healing waters in the chapel of Saint-Emme in the hamlet of the same name.

Literature : Bouchet et al, 1994
