From 1974 until 1996 the town of Leominster was home to the administrative centre of the former local government for the district.
The town actually takes it name from a minster. This is a community of clergy within the district of Leon and this in turn was taken from the old welsh roots that is actually contrary to a lot of reports. The name of the town has nothing to do with Leofric, which is an eleventh century earl of Mercia.
