They are the people who grant arms and keep all the records. They could probably point you in the right direction.

I pass by their fine building quite often, so I'm very aware of it- though my ancestors are all Ag Labs and FWK (Frame Work knitters), so no chance they have anything of interest to me! But at an exhibition this year, I saw their records of William Shakepeare's request for a coat of arms- which of course, has a spear. It's between St Paul's in the City of London and the 'wobbly bridge' otherwise known as the Millennium Bridge.
