Chipping Norton Town Football Club was an English football club based in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.
The club was established in 1893.[1] After winning back-to-back Oxfordshire Senior League titles in 1951–52 and 1952–53, they became founder members of the Hellenic League in 1953. They were placed in the Premier Division when the league added a second division in 1956, but were relegated to Division One after finishing bottom of the table in 1959–60. However, they won Division One at the first attempt to return to the Premier Division. They were relegated again at the end of the 1969–70 season. In 1971–72 they were placed in Division One B, which they won at the first attempt to earn promotion back to the Premier Division. In 1976–77 the club won the Oxfordshire Senior Cup, a feat which they repeated the following season, in which they were also Premier Division champions.[2]
In 1979 the club switched to Division One of the Midland Combination, which they won in 1981–82. The following season they won the league's Charity Shield and Tony Allden Cup, but in 1984 they left the league to return to the Oxfordshire Senior League due to mounting debts.[1] In 1986 the club moved back up to Division One of the Hellenic League, where they remained until leaving in 1993, when the club ceased playing senior football. However, they returned in 2001 when they joined Division One West. After finishing second in 2002–03 they were promoted to the Premier Division. However, they withdrew from the league during the 2006–07 season due to a lack of volunteers.
