Wollaston is a village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England, about 3 miles (5 km) south of the market town of Wellingborough.

The oldest visible part of Wollaston is known as Beacon Hill,[5] an ancient castle earthwork or burial mound which once belonged to Bury Manor.

In 1260 William de Bray[6] secured a charter from Henry III to hold an annual Michaelmas fair[7] and a weekly market to be held on a Tuesday.

At the time David Hennell, a lace dealer from Wollaston wrote "I lament that this field is now agoing to be enclosed.

Some that have large quantities of land are set upon it, and pay no regard to the many little ones that may be injured, and I fear many ruined.

Wollaston's first school opened in 1842 and was located in a building next to what is now the Indian restaurant (formerly The Cuckoo pub), opposite Bell End.

The school has moved several times, finally being established on College Street in a building dating from May 1894.

[9] In 2007, manufacture of the "Made in England" line of Dr. Martens footwear was resumed in the Cobbs Lane Factory in Wollaston.

[10] Wollaston also has the head office of an international chemical company, founded by the Quaker Ernest Bader (1890–1982), which is now a common ownership factory, the Scott Bader Commonwealth, making advanced resins and composite materials.

Before the Dissolution of the Monasteries the benefice of St Mary's parish church was held by Delapré Abbey in Northampton.
