Origin/meaning

The above arms were proposed in 1956 and I am not sure whether the arms have actually been adopted by the local council.

The arms are based on the oldest seal of the village, dating from 1802. The seal showed a garb and some tools. To simplify the arms, the tools were removed. The image signifies the agricultural character of the village.
