Penn & Tylers Green F.C. are a football club based in Penn, near Beaconsfield, England. They were established in 1905 and were the founding members of the Chiltonian League in 1984. Currently they are members of the Combined Counties League Division One. The club is affiliated to the Berks & Bucks Football Association[1]

History

The club was formally established in 1905 when it is believed that it adopted its first formal constitution.[2] The club joined the Wycombe League and achieved its first success in winning it in the 1911–12 season. The team remained in the Wycombe leagues, winning the league on several occasions until they became founder members of the Chiltonian league in 1984.[3][4] During this period the club moved to their home of French School Meadows, when they purchased it in 1949. Prior to the building of the club house the HQ for the club was the Horse & Groom Public House.

The club then spent the next ten seasons in the top division of the Chiltonian league before suffering relegation to Division one at the end of the 1993–94 season. However the club only spent a single season in Division one gaining promotion to the Premier Division at their first attempt.[3] The club then remained in the Premier Division until the end of the 1999–2000 season, when the league merged with the Hellenic Football League, when they were placed in Division One East. The club were Division One East runners-up in the 2002–03 season.[3] At the end of the 2020–21 season they were transferred to Division One of the Spartan South Midlands League.

Ground

Penn & Tylers Green play their games at French School Meadows, Elm Road, Penn HP10 8LF.

The Ground takes its name from the long since demolished 18th century School catering for orphans of the French Revolution. The pupils wore a blue uniform with white feathers in their hats giving rise to the clubs blue and white strip and the club logo.[2] The ground has had several improvements since they purchased it in 1949 with showers being installed in the 1960s, the brick building built in the 1980s with an extension added in 2001.
