Leominster is a market town in the English county of Herefordshire. It is found at the confluence of the River Lugg and its tributary the River Kenwater, about 12 miles (19 kilometres) north of the city of Hereford and about 7 miles south of the Shropshire border, 11 miles from Ludlow in Shropshire. Leominster railway station has services to Manchester, passing through Ludlow and Cardiff, and connections to London are reached by changing at Hereford. With a permanent population of around 11691 people, in accordance with the 2011 Census, Leominster is the largest of the 5 towns Leominster, Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury, Bromyard and Kington in the county neighbouring the City of Hereford. From 1974 to 1996, Leominster worked as the administrative centre for the previous local 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. During 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 professed to be buried in Leominster. Leominster is also the traditional home of Ryeland sheep, a breed formerly celebrated for its ‘Lemster’ wool, referred to as ‘Lemster ore’. This wool was valued above all other English wool in trade with the continent of Europe in the Middle Ages. It was the profit and affluence from this wool trade that built the town and the minster and drew the envy of the Welsh and other areas.
