Subject: RE: Origins: Vivat Floreat Totnesia. anybody know it
In Totnes town in days of old
there lived a Norman Baron bold
A doughty knight yet good with all
Who built our priorys' hallowed hall
And so it was

the Totnes boys learnt how to read.
VIVAT FLOREAT TOTNESIA
Crescat floreat Totnesia
In secula
permulta
Floreat Totnesia.

Totnes Grammar School school song.
The school closed as a grammar school in the late 1960s.
Hope this helps.
