History

The club was formed in 1898 and accepted into the North Essex League as Manor Works FC, the works team of the Crittall Window Company - suppliers to the Titanic and once the leading window makers in England. The club's nickname "The Iron" also comes from this source, reflecting the company's iron window frames. The club's crest reflects its origins and shows the factory of the old Crittall Garage which overlooked the club's Cressing Road ground before being demolished in 2005. In 1921 the club changed its name to Crittall Athletic FC and soon afterwards moved to a new stadium (which has been their home since). Around 1968 the club changed name once again, this time to Braintree & Crittall Athletic FC, but when links with Crittalls ended in 1981 they became Braintree Town FC.
