Design rationale

The name "Pilcher" means, among other things, a person who makes "pylches", that is, garments of fur. The main part of the field is composed of one of the heraldic furs called pean. This is a black background powdered with gold colored ermine spots. The black of the fur also alludes to the black Benedictine habit. The chief has a red background with symbols of ancestry, the fleurs-de-lis for France, and the thistle for Scotland.

Design note

The arms were designed by the Reverend Guy Selvester
