Coat of Arms
Does anybody know of a UK web site where I could research an existing coat of arms? (Not a company offering to design spurious family crests).

As a start you need to find the heraldic words for the elements of the arms, for example, pale means the shield is in two halves (sometimes meaning a husband wife), the birds (I think) look like martlets and the lines do not appear to be chevrons as they are horizontal not diagonal
hi Stevie !
Is the saying on the coat - Industria didat? - yes I have been down to phrases and sayings.....
you know that there is a dictionary of sayngs for coats of arms? I found one at a local library when i was doing the book type of search that you are doing on the internet. The dictionary had an obvious title....Obviously I cannot guarantee that your local has a copy.
Good luck
