The link with the ordinand of 1682 seems likely. There is no obvious other candidate in Foster or Venn and Little Rollright is on the Warwickshire border.
Foster: Hayward, Thomas, s. William, of Stonehouse, co. Gloucester, pleb. Magdalen Hall, matric 29 Mar 1677, aged 16; BA 1680, MA 1683, rector of Barton-on-the-Heath, co. Warwick, 1683; father of Thomas 1705, and William 1705. See Foster's Index Eccl.
