The village of Aymestrey lies on the River Lugg, close to Leominster.
The name of Aymestrey is translated as the tree of a Saxon man named Aethelmund.
Close to the village are limestone quarries, and over the years many Silurian fossils have been found there.
Mortimer’s Cross within the parish was where the first battle of the Wars of the Roses was fought, ending with Edward IV being put on the throne.
