The town takes its name from a minster, which is a group of clergy in the district of Lene or Leon. Throughout the Early Middle Ages, Leominster was the home of Æthelmod of Leominster, an English saint known to history generally through the hagiography of the Secgan Manuscript. He is professed to be buried in Leominster. Leominster is additionally the traditional birthplace of Ryeland sheep, a breed at one time known for its 'Lemster' wool, named 'Lemster ore'. This wool was cherished 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 established the town and the minster and tempted the envy of the Welsh and other regions.
