It is set at the confluence of the River Lugg and its tributary the River Kenwater, roughly 12 miles (19 km) 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, going through Ludlow and Cardiff, and connections to London are reached by changing at Hereford. With a permanent population of about 11691 people, according to the 2011 Census, Leominster is the largest of the 5 towns Leominster, Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury, Bromyard and Kington in the county encircling the City of Hereford. From 1974 to 1996, Leominster provided 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. Through the Early Middle Ages, Leominster was home to Æthelmod of Leominster, an English saint known to history mostly through the hagiography of the Secgan Manuscript. He is alleged to be entombed in Leominster. Leominster is also the traditional home of Ryeland sheep, a species previously known for its ‘Lemster’ wool, known as ‘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 revenue and prosperity from this wool trade that formed the town and the minster and attracted the envy of the Welsh and other regions.
