Welcome to Wollaston
CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
Wollaston was first settled in the mid Saxon period during the 8th Century. It is shown as Wilaveston in the 1086 Domesday Survey, the name meaning Wulflaf’s Town, after an early Saxon settler. Originally an agricultural settlement with a market granted in 1260 by King Henry III, the village had two manors, Hall Manor and Bury Manor. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the mid-1530s both passed into the ownership of The Crown. A Motte castle was built on Beacon Hill during the anarchy of King Stephen’s reign (1135-1154) but it was dismantled in 1154 on the accession of King Henry II. Later from the 13th to the 16th century a windmill stood on the hill.
