History

Though records indicate Warminster Town F.C. being founded in 1878, it wasn't firmly established until 1885.[1] They played in the Wiltshire County League until the 1929-30 season, after which they successfully applied to join the Western League. Following the the end of the second World War they reverted to the Wiltshire County League. It wasn't until the 1983-84 season that they again competed in the Western League until relegation back to the Wiltshire County League at the end of the 2005-06 season. The club then successfully applied to join the Wessex League for the 2008-07 season before, once again joining the Western League for the 2012-13 season.

The club had originally played at Holly Lodge on Boreham Road, but subsequently moved to their current ground on Weymouth Street. In 1994 the ground underwent significant redevelopment.[2]

Warminster Town play their home games at Weymouth Street, Warminster.
