Shortly after World War 1, Mr Ancell a local benefactor purchased and placed in trust an area of land for the provision of sports facilities for Stony Stratford and the surrounding area.
In 1923 Stony Stratford Bowling Club was established, and the Men's Club started playing in 1924 on the present site in the Ancell Trust Sports Ground.
A Ladies Section was formed some years later, and played on a green, which is now now part of the tennis courts. It was reformed in 1978, sharing the Men’s facilities.
There was another 3 Rink Bowls Green in the Town for many years. This was behind The Conservative Club. Unfortunately this became a victim of the motor car and was made into a Car Park in the 1960s. In common with several local sports clubs SSBC used converted railway carriages for their Clubhouse and Changing Rooms. By 1980 the large increase in membership, not just the reformed Ladies section, meant that the Club's facilities were overstretched. The "Kitchen" was a 6ft square lean to, The Ladies had a 100yd trek in the dark, and the Men's urinal was a trough behind a privet hedge. In 1981 a major rebuild incorporating a modern kitchen, bar and lounge area, was embarked on. Thanks to the many artisans within the Club's membership a large amount of the work was carried out by themselves. The rebuilt Clubhouse was ready for the 1982 Season.
