History
The club was established in 1892, reaching the final of the Norfolk Junior Cup two years later. They won the trophy in 1951 and again the following season. In 1959 they moved to the Shoemakers Lane ground, having purchased the site for £250.[1]
The club joined the Anglian Combination and won Division Two in 1973–74. In 1990 they were promoted to Division One of the Eastern Counties League. After winning the division in 2001–02 they were promoted to the Premier Division. However, they finished bottom of the Premier Division in their first season, and were relegated back to Division One. The club remained in Division One until the end of the 2014–15 season, when they were promoted after finishing as runners-up.[2]
