History[]

The club was established in 1920 as Loxwood and Alfold and joined the Rudgwick & District League.^[1] The club split in 1928 and Alfold joined the Cranleigh & District league, before becoming members of the Horsham & District League.^[1] They won the league title, the League Cup and the District Cup in 1953–54.^[2] When the league folded in the late 1960s, the club transferred to the West Sussex League.^[2] They won the Tony Kopp Cup in 1970–71 and were Division Two North champions 1980–81 and 1993–94,^[3] also winning the Surrey County Lower Junior Cup in 1988.^[2] The club won the Premier Division title in 2002–03 and the Chichester Charity Cup in 2010–11.^[3]

Alfold were Division Two runners-up in 2012–13, earning promotion to Division One. In 2015 they moved up to Division Two of the Southern Combination.
