Wollaston, Shropshire

Wollaston is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Alberbury with Cardeston, in the Shropshire district, in the ceremonial county of Shropshire, England, only a quarter of a mile from the Welsh border.

[3] It is believed that Old Tom Parr was born in, or near, to the village at Winnington at The Glyn, according to the inscription on a brass plaque in the church.

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

Half a mile south-east near Bretchel is the site of a small Norman motte castle known as The Beacon.
