Dr Alistair Rowland BROWN ArmsPer bend argent and gules counterchanged, three picks palewise the handles also counterchanged the heads Or.
CrestA reef knot palewise terminating in two storks’ heads addorsed argent beaked Or.

The arms are a derived coat from the 17th century. Dr Brown’s earliest antecedents were Merchants of the Staple of Calais in Stamford in the 15th century and used the three wool-picks. These wool-picks are seen in the windows of Brown’s Hospital in Stamford. The old Brown crest was a ‘storks head couped and knowed’ so Dr Brown’s crest incorporates a reef knot (he was a surgeon) with two storks’ heads.
