Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on September 6, 2022.
The arms are based on the arms of the De Hannique family. In 1524, Antoine de Hannique and his wife Jeanne de Poix became lords of the main fiefdom of Hamelet, known as Ronquerolles. The De Hannique (or De Hannicque) arms were: Or, a fess Azure accompanied by three roses Gules (see also Echinghen). The family kept Ronquerolles until 1750, when it was passed on to Louis Gautier de La Gauterie.
The sparrow was added as a specific symbol for the village. It was chosen as the nickname for the villagers was 'sparrows'.
