Tytherington Football Club was formed in 1896 by local Headmaster, Mr Emanuel, and others including the Rev John Bingley. Rev. Bingley stipulated that, to gain his support, the club should play in amber and black, his old college colours at Brasenose, in Oxford.

The club played in the Wotton-Under-Edge League and travelled to away matches by waggonette, a four-wheeled horse drawn cart, with seats along both sides. The club played at many different grounds in the early days, including Mill-Leaze Fields behind the village shop.

They eventually found a permanent home at the Hardwicke Playing Fields. The club used the Swan Inn as their changing rooms until a new pavilion was erected by the Parish Council, on the playing fields in 1938.

In the 1920s the club was suspended by the Gloucestershire Football Association for non-payment of a fine. The fine followed a referee being jostled into an adjoining brook after what the home side felt were some dubious decisions! No pay - no play, so Tytherington disbanded until 1932 when Tytherington Rocks FC was formed, joining the Bristol & Suburban League.

War disrupted the local leagues and Rocks re-joined Division 1 in 1947. The same year a youth team called the Pebbles was formed and played in the Gloucestershire Junior Boys' League.

The 1960s were spent between Division 3 and Division 5. Facilities were upgraded in 1979-80, with new showers and toilet block together with electricity! The Reserves reformed in Division 7 and the first team reached Division 1 for the 1987-88 season.

1987-88 saw the formation of the third team joining Division 7 and at the same time Streamside Juniors were adopted as Tytherington Rocks Juniors. A floodlit training pitch was opened in 1988.

Rocks entered Premier Division 2 and by 1993 arrived in Premier Division 1. Ground improvements continued with dugouts and perimeter fencing. As Champions of the Bristol & Suburban Premier League in 1997, it was shock and disappointment when an application to the Gloucestershire County League was rejected.

Following rejection, a new bar, separate changing facilities, referees room and a spectator stand raised the profile of the club and, in 1998, the County League application was successful.

The team survived a difficult first season but, during the next four years, enjoyed top half finishes and were GFA Challenge Trophy Finalists, League Cup Finalists and, in 2004, were County League Runners-up.

Hellenic League football and Hellenic League status Division 1 [West] arrived in 2004-05.

Season 2011-12 was to prove to be the first of three outstanding years for Tytherington Rocks. The 1st team finished 18 points clear to win the Uhlsport Hellenic League Division 1 [West] title, followed by a 3rd place and then champions again in 2014, this time by 5 points. Following this success, a transfer request to move to the Toolstation Western League was rejected by the FA. This refusal had a devastating effect on the club with players and team management of both 1st team and Reserve teams leaving in their numbers.

History will record that several managers and committee members worked tirelessly to ensure the survival of the club during the following four seasons.
The 2018/2019 season ended with all three teams (U18, Reserves and 1st team) all completing their programmes, although they all finished in the penultimate positions in their respective League divisions.

Between August 2019 and now, Rocks have experienced major changes both on and off the field. Reserve sides have folded mid-season, an U18 team had run its course and a Ladies team arrived and left. Numerous committee, management, and playing staff departures and arrivals took place during the two seasons destroyed by the Coronavirus.

One welcome achievement did however materialise. Rocks won the Beaufort Cup, an end of season competition run by the Bristol Premier Sunday League.
Recent years saw the club admitted into the Toolstation Western League with commendable league finishes following. Now into the current season we
are back with our old friends in the Uhlsport Hellenic League
