From 1974 to 1996, Leominster functioned as the administrative centre for the previous regional government district of Leominster District. The town takes its name from a minster, which is a group of clergy in the district of Lene or Leon. Through the Early Middle Ages, Leominster was home to Æthelmod of Leominster, an English saint known to history largely through the hagiography of the Secgan Manuscript. He is alleged to be entombed in Leominster. Leominster is also the historical birthplace of Ryeland sheep, a species formerly notable for its ‘Lemster’ wool, named ‘Lemster ore’. This wool was esteemed above all other English wool in trade with the continent of Europe in the Middle Ages. It was the income and prosperity from this wool trade that developed the town and the minster and drew the envy of the Welsh and other areas.
