Painter and mural artist strongly influenced by the Impressionists. Born in London, he was within a few months taken to live in Hooe, Sussex, at Quiddleswell Mount, which he sold only in 1948 when his finances were low and he was in receipt of a Civil List Pension. From 1891–4 attended South Kensington Schools, then was at Slade School of Fine Art, 1895–7. During the period up to World War I Hayward travelled to West Indies, Central America and Italy, which he always loved. After serving in Artists’ Rifles Hayward was appointed an Official War Artist, 1918–9, his resulting work being held by Imperial War Museum. By the end of the 1920s Hayward was faring well as a painter, but his income dipped sharply in the 1930s.
