Wollaston, Shropshire

Wollaston, Shropshire

Wollaston is a small village in Shropshire, England, only a quarter of a mile from the Welsh border.

It also was a civil parish, until 2005 when it was abolished and absorbed into the two neighbouring parishes - Alberbury with Cardeston and Westbury.

There is a beacon here, by the church, that is to be lit in case of an invasion from Wales.

It is believed that Thomas Parr was born in, or near, to the village.
