Wollaston is a village on the outskirts of Stourbridge, in the south of the Dudley district, in the county of the West Midlands, England.

[3] A map from 1782 shows Wollaston Hall and a cluster of cottages where today Vicarage Road meets High Street.

Victoria County History of 1913 describes the front elevation of "five gables filled with ornamental half-timbering disposed in quatrefoil panels".

Panelling and a fireplace from the Hall are in the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan.

Joe Pearson, who had previously played football for Aston Villa and was a member of the club's 1905 FA Cup winning team was appointed headmaster in September 1919.

[11] The Wollaston Free Church building on Somerset Drive started out as the clubhouse of Stourbridge Rugby Club.

[4]: 130–1 The "Wollaston Illuminations" in Leonard Road were an annual Christmas lights display which attracted people from all over the Black Country[citation needed] to raise money for a chosen charity.

Johnny Briggs, who played Mike Baldwin in the ITV soap Coronation Street and who lived in Stourbridge, switched on the lights several times over the years.

In 2006, residents of Leonard Road decided to cancel the illuminations as a protest to food and drink vendors 'cashing in' on the fundraising event.

[13] In 2014, Lion Health medical centre opened in the renovated former foundry of Foster, Rastrick and Company, a Grade II listed building.

The next phase of regeneration on the foundry site will create parkland next to Stourbridge Canal with a "heritage and community hub" named Riverside House.

Public services were the responsibility of the Vestry Committee from the formation of the parish in 1860 until the Local Government Act, 1894 curtailed its powers.

St James' Church was formally opened on 15 April 1960 on land donated by William Orme Foster of John Bradley & Co iron works and Member of Parliament for South Staffordshire.
