Hi Norman,
as you've probably realised Littledean hasn't been discussed much in the forum, unlike some of the other local churchyard's, I can only find this related prior post.

Tichfen's not visited the forum for a few years but it seems they are still active, their username is still being displayed as a blue hyperlink. I suggest it might be worth sending a direct message in case they can help you.

I also suggest contacting the Church in advance of your visit, the Cinderford area vicar Mike Barnsley seems a pleasant sort so it's possible they might be able to help out, especially for a small donation towards upkeep, perhaps.

As an aside, I'm sure you've already seen it within the Memorial Inscriptions part of this site's Resources section, but the Bigland Transcripts from the late C18th include Littledean.

Should be a lovely time to visit, hopefully dry mild weather so good underfoot and some spring flowers too; I cannot speak from experience wrt Littledean but some of the area's churchyards can get overgrown in the summer. I sincerely hope that the terrible damage suffered by some local cemeteries doesn't happen at Littledean, it's probably a bit far from the woods.

Good luck !
