The club was founded in 1936 with a home pitch at St Johns Park. We started life in the Coventry & District League. The club continued to play when possible during the war years but needed to find a more permanent home. This resulted in the club moving grounds five times between 1946 and 1962 before moving to our current Gypsy Lane home. During this period the club had home grounds at The Oval, St Johns Junior School, Scott Road, Thickthorn Manor and in the nearby town of Warwick. During this period the club also changed its name, becoming Kenilworth Rangers. With the club now back in Kenilworth, this was changed to Kenilworth Town in 1992, with the "K H" added in 2005. Kenilworth Town moved to our current Gypsy Lane home in 1962. The club initially leased the land before purchasing the freehold in theearly 1990's. Since purchasing the ground the club has made improvements to the ground. Floodlights have been installed and two new stands (one seated and one standing) have been built. The new stands were opened by Nigel Clough and were first used for a friendly against the Burton Albion side that he managed. A new clubhouse is currently under construction. The building work has been completed and fundraising is under way to complete the project.
