Amersham Town FC was formed in 1890, with the inaugural meeting taking place at the Crown public house, now a hotel, on 10 October 1890. The meeting was chaired by a local headmaster who was closely connected with W. G. Grace, the famous cricketer.

Among the club’s original rules were that there should be no bad language on the pitch, no nails worn by players, an annual subscription of 1/6d, and that the club colours would be black and white.

​

The club originally played at Barn Meadow, close to the current ground. In 1920, Amersham Town moved to Spratleys Meadow thanks to the generosity of local entrepreneur Mr Brazil, founder of the famous Bowyers sausage and pie company.

​

Amersham joined the Hellenic League in 1952. The clubhouse, originally a former school room, was erected in 1968 and extended in 1983. Floodlights were installed in 1977, while the club secured a 99-year lease on Spratleys Meadow in 1998 and installed a new stand.

​

Since the turn of the century, the club has continued to improve its facilities. Modern changing rooms were built in 2006/07, the pitch was levelled to create a stronger playing surface, the clubhouse has been remodelled, and new floodlights have been installed.

Today, Amersham Town FC continues to build on its long history as a community football club, with close local links and a commitment to football in Amersham.
