BAINCTHUN
Département : Pas-de-Calais
Origin/meaning
These arms were proposed in 1996, but I have no idea whether the municipality actually adopted the arms.
The arms are identical to those of the oldest known Lords of Baincthun. The three horns also appear in the arms of Sanghen, another possession of the Lords of Baincthun.
Literature : Bréemersch et al., 1996
