A Brief History of Bristol Manor Farm FC
Founded in 1960, Bristol Manor Farm began playing in the Somerset County League after securing a permanent home at The Creek in 1965. After progressing through the divisions, Manor Farm joined Western League Division One in 1977. Following five top ten finishes Bristol Manor Farm won the Division One title in 1982/83 and were promoted to the Premier Division where they would remain for the next 19 years. After being relegated in 2001/02, The Farm were promoted back to the Premier in 2003/04. They narrowly avoided relegation finishing 18th in 2012/13 but from there they never looked back with finishes of 2nd, 4th, 3rd and finally becoming Western League champions in 2016/17.
