History
Swaffham Town, or "The Pedlars", as the club are nicknamed, were formed in 1892,Starting from humble beginnings the club moved to Shoemakers Lane in 1959. It was purchased for the sum of £250. Mr R J Hemell who was then the secretary of the East Anglian League officially opened the ground.
The Shoemakers Lane ground covers approximately one and a half acres. In 1967 a clubhouse was built at Shoemakers Lane, thanks to a loan from the brewery. In a short space of time all club members pulled together to raise the necessary funds to repay the loan. Over the years extensions have been added to provide the facilities needed in senior football. Much of the work is done voluntarily so it can truly be said that those who have helped are largely responsible for what we have today, a club to be proud of.
In the seventies "The Swaffham Colts " were formed to run their Sunday youth teams. This section of the club is run separately, but the youngster and their parents, who administer the teams, are all members of Swaffham Town F.C.
The club runs three adult teams and an under 18's. The Reserves play in the Anglian Combination Div 2. The A team in the Norwich and South Norfolk Junior Football League Div 1.
