Background
History
The remains of Roman kilns, crematoria and coins have been found in Wollaton. The centre of Wollaton village, the original heart of the suburb, has remained relatively unchanged over the past few hundred years and is dominated by the Admiral Rodney public house and the Anglican church of St Leonard dating back to the 13th century. It also features historic cottages, an Elizabethan dovecote and a water pump. In 1931 the parish had a population of 1796. On 1 April 1933 the parish was abolished and merged with Nottingham. Most areas of the former parish were built-up by the end of the 1960s.
