MARKET TOWNS OF HEREFORDSHIRE (from SDUK Penny Cyclopedia)

Leominster in 1838

Leominster, upon the river Lug, is situated in Wolphy hundred, 13 miles from Hereford, 26 from Worcester, and 128 from London. It is a borough and corporate town, returning two members to parliament. The church is handsome and the market-place old, but in an inconvenient situation ; the market-day is Friday. Several considerable cattle-fairs are held, and an agricultural society has lately been established here.
