Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 15, 1935.
The arms are based on those of Bishop Vesey, a benefactor to the town. The shield also contains his mitre and the stags refer to Sutton Park.
The mural crown represents civic authority and the keys and sword, for SS Peter and Paul, as from the See of Exeter.
The greyhound and dragon are the supporters of the Tudors, duly differenced, in allusion to the town's charter from Henry VIII.
