The town takes its name from a minster, which is a group of clergy in the district of Lene or Leon. During The Course Of the Early Middle Ages, Leominster was home to Æthelmod of Leominster, an English saint known to history often through the hagiography of the Secgan Manuscript. He is alleged to be entombed in Leominster. Leominster is also the historic home of Ryeland sheep, a species formerly celebrated 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 profit and success from this wool trade that established the town and the minster and tempted the envy of the Welsh and other regions.
