Oliver Heywood’s death occurred in May, 1702. No particular account of it is given by Mr. Hunter in his biography. Thoresby notes down, “May 7: Rode with Mr. Peters to Northowram, to the funeral of good old Mr. O. Heywood. He was interred with great lamentations in the parish church at Halifax; was surprised at the following Arvill, or treat of cold possets, stewed prunes, cake and cheese, prepared for the company, where had several Con. and Noncon. ministers and old acquaintance.”—Diary, i. 362.
