The club was founded in 1883.[2] The club played in the local Norwich league, until 1906, when they left to only play friendlies, but three years later the club folded in 1909, with a debt of £2.[3] The club reformed in 1912 when Wymondham Church Lads took over the club's name and the club played in a local Norwich league.[4] In 1935 the club joined the East Anglian League.[4]
After the war the club joined the Norfolk & Suffolk League in 1946.[5] The 1950–51 season saw the club enter the FA Cup for the first time, something they did for the next five seasons.[2] When the Norfolk & Suffolk League merged with the East Anglian League to form the Anglian Combination in 1964, the club were placed in Section B of the new league.[6] The club won the Division one championship five times in the Anglian Combination, each time gaining promotion to the premier division, but spending no more than four seasons in a row in the top division.[6][7]
