This is Thynne Field, formerly the home of Clandown Football Club. The club played here towards the end of their time, located on the outskirts of the village. Clandown has some success in their history, but it was the latter time when it began to decline. In 1999 a storm destroyed the stand and clubhouse so badly the ground was abandoned. The club played their fixtures in nearby Paulton but had to reduce the number of teams. The 2003-04 season was the last as the club sadly folded. The pitch has since been subject to some fly-tipping and nature has assumed the upper hand now.
