The church is situated in the middle of town & I doesnt have a graveyard (unless it is hidden behind the church).
Other than the main town cemetry, the other place to look would be St James church which is in the  parish area. St James is also the closest church to the records office so worth a visit. Where are you based?

How about contacting the record office in Hereford. They may be able to help.

Why not get the death certificate - if you ask for only one that is for a timber dealer or similar that can be done
