Coat of arms

image by Sérgio Horta, 4 Feb 2015

Shield Argent, divided by a pile ascending Vert, in cnetral base a plough share Argent, in dexter chief a cross fleury Vert, in sinister chief a lying crescent Vert. Mural crown with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black capitals: "BRINCHES".
Meaning:
The plough share is representing the riches of the fields and the cultivation of them since Roman times. The cross is reminding on the Order of Avis. The crescent is alluding to the Moors having ruled the region for centuries. The green colour is nature's traditional colour. It is symbolizing the importance of local agriculture as main business and the hope for the future and the values of the past as well.
