Polson/Polsom and Coombes/Combs (General)

Hello everyone,
I'm researching my family who lived around the Forest of Dean- the Polsons lived in Palmer's Flat and the Coombes family lived around Newland. I'm looking for general information about places to go in the area to find out more- All Saints Church in Newland will be my first stop as my great great great great grandparents, William and Letitia Coombes were married there in 1815. I'd be particularly inerested in knowing where people who lived in Palmer's Flat were buried, as I'm stuck on a William Polson who died around 1871. His widow Julia remarried in Coleford in 1873- it looks like the parish church in Coleford has been demolished? There's about 100 years of my family living in this area, from 1790 to 1890, so any other information about that time period would be wonderful.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.
