Origin/meaning
The arms were introduces in August 2017.
They are inspired by the arms of the Lescot family and a particularity of the local bell tower.
The Lescot family owned most of the Étreillers Estate in the 18th century. Jacques Lescot, lord in part of Étreillers in 1744, was a lawyer, former master of Saint-Quentin by election in 1711, founder of the Old Men's Hospice of this city in 1744. A street of Saint-Quentin bears his name. Three distinct coats of arms for this family are known, which have in common three bands and one (or two) roosters, a canting element (Lescot, les cos, or the roosters in Picardian dialect). The arms are based on the arms of Jacques Lescot as provided by d'Hozier; quarterly, 1 and 4 of silver with a rooster of silver, and 2 and 3 sable with three goldeb bends accompanied in chief of a star of the same.
The roosters in 1 and 4 have been replaced by a rooster and chicken taken from the wind vanes at the local bell tower; one is a rooster, the other a chicken. Local tradition claims that the lord of Étreillers, offered one weather vane with the rooster from his arms; to thwart what some considered a noble will to assert its power, a popular quest was made, which financed the installation of a chicken.
