Susie - 10 years ago I stopped and climbed this hill and it was well worth it.  It was the night after a storm and the air was clear so I could see for miles.  I took a load of photos which are probably in a box somewhere.  If the weather is right next weekend I might stop off there again as I travel to watch a football match.

Hi Suzie
Just a couple of miles away from me. When the temperature gets above freezing, I will pop along and have a look. A fairly small graveyard according to Google Maps so hopefully not too difficult. Will post result.

Hi Bob  - I did spend an hour looking a few weeks ago, there's an Edwards stone by the Church porch which you might be able to read better than me, it was in the fading light when I was there.  Not a Jane Edwards though.  By the was as I drove back towards Monmouth down a lane I passed a small graveyard beside the road, there's no church, any idea what that is.  I was cold and didn't turn and go back to look, it was about 2 miles from the church.
