Woolaston is a rural parish in gently sloping farmland rising from the north bank of the River Severn in the west of Gloucestershire. It is on the western edge of the Forest of Dean and close to the Wye Valley on the A48 road between Chepstow and Lydney. It is approximately 5 miles from the Welsh border at Chepstow.

St. Andrew's parish church at Woolaston is about a mile south west of Netherend along the A48 towards Chepstow. Church Lane is just off A48 behind Peters Cross car park/picnic site. The earliest record of its existence is in 1131. However, the old circular churchyard and the nearby Roman road, which ran just to the north-west of the church, suggest a much earlier holy site. The Tower was originally a low one with a short wooden steeple, but following the granting of a faculty in 1774, it was completely rebuilt. It was threatened with closure in 2007.
