Bury Town Football Club is a football club based in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, who currently compete in the Isthmian League North Division. Bury Town is one of the oldest football clubs in the country, having been originally founded back in 1872 by William Lake during a meeting at the Suffolk Hotel in the same year. At that time, they were known as Bury St Edmunds Football Club, which lasted until a name change to Bury United in 1908, before settling on their current club name in 1923.
