Stadium History & Features

Melksham were founder members of the Wiltshire League in 1894 and won the Western League Premier Division title in 2014–15, though ground delays denied promotion that season. They reached the Southern League via the 2017–18 play-offs after finishing runners-up.

The club played at the Conigre on the Melksham House estate from 1920 until relocating to Oakfields in 2017. They have won the Wiltshire Senior Cup on multiple occasions, most recently in 2015–16.
