Wollaston is bounded by the River Nene, and until comparatively recently, shoemaking was the major industry in the area, hence the prominence of the cobbler on the sign.

The ancient centre of the village, including Wollaston Hall, the 14thC towered church of St Mary’s and the partly mediaeval priory, is well-preserved and now forms the core of a Conservation area. Wollaston’s scheduled monuments include the site of a mediaeval manor house at the south end and, near the church, lies a circular mound about 10 metres high, surrounded by a ditch, which dates from the 12th Century. The mound is open to the public and nearby Wollaston Museum houses many artefacts from the village.
