Leominster
Leominster ( ) is a market town in Herefordshire, England, and is located at the confluence of the River Lugg and its tributary the River Kenwater, approximately north of the city of Hereford and approx 7 miles south of the Shropshire border, 11 miles from Ludlow in Shropshire. With a population of approximately 11,700 people,〔 Leominster is the largest of the five towns (Leominster, Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury, Bromyard & Kington) in the county surrounding the City of Hereford.
From 1974 to 1996, Leominster served as the administrative centre for the former local government district of Leominster District.
==Toponymy==
The town takes its name from a minster, that is a community of clergy in the district of ''Lene'' or ''Leon'', probably in turn from an Old Welsh root ''lei'' to flow.〔J. & C. Hillaby, ''Leominster Minster, Priory, and Borough c.660-1539'' (Logaston Press, Almeley, Herefs. 2006), 4-5.〕 Contrary to certain reports, the name has nothing to do with Leofric, an 11th-century Earl of Mercia (most famous for being the miserly husband of Lady Godiva). The Welsh name for Leominster, still used today by a few on the Welsh side of the nearby border, is ''Llanllieni''.
