The Chiltonian League was an English football league, existing from 1984 until its merger with the Hellenic League in 2000. While never having a defined place in the English football league system, successful clubs moved from the Chiltonian League to the Combined Counties League and to the South Midlands League.[1]

History

1984-85

The league originally consisted of a single section of 17 clubs, most of which had previously competed in the Wycombe & District League.
