Mr. Heywood is a character in Sanditon, by Jane Austen. He is married to Mrs. Heywood and owns a comfortable estate in Willingden. He is a wealthy middle-aged man, and proprietor of a farm in Willingden. He is with his haymakers when there is a carriage accident on the road, and he and several of them go out to help. He is a bit bemused by the travelers, namely Mr. Parker, who is looking for a surgeon in Willingden to examine his ankle. Parker would not believe him when he said there was no surgeon, and shows newspaper articles of there being a surgeon in Willingden. Heywood pointed out that there are two Willingdens in the country, and that the articles likely referred to the other.
