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 mainly through the hagiography of the Secgan Manuscript. He is said to be buried in Leominster. Leominster is also the historic birthplace of Ryeland sheep, a species once famous for its 'Lemster' wool, named 'Lemster ore'.
