Farlow isn't in Herefordshire, it's in Shropshire.

I dont know anything about the Old Swinford connection but the county
boundary is complex around Neen Savage and instead of looking in Shropshire
you might try Herefordshire. Farlow which is next to Neen Savage is in
Herefordshire and you only have to move a mile or so
