Yes, this would be 1530. Hilary term normally lasted about six weeks, from mid-January to the end of February. It had to end before the beginning of Lent, so if Easter was very early, Hilary term might only be about 3 weeks.

He was apparently still alive in Hilary term 1530, when his son was heir apparent.

In Common Pleas in that year the plaintiff was:
John Nevell, knight, son and heir apparent of Richard Nevell, knight, lord Latymer (dm de Latymer)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Latin Teenement survey c1460

His will might give some indication of his age. Did he mention grandchildren? Is there any indication that the children or grandchildren mentioned were not yet of full age?

As for the "A". This was a form of at or atte, not particularly uncommon in surnames at that time. The link below is for an index of plaintiffs and defendants in the court of Common Pleas for 1519. The column on the right is for defendants. Scroll down a little and you will see the surnames "a Barton", "a Dene", "a Forde", "a Lee", and so on.

Here's a start.

John A Barton holds a tenement called Jopysmede lying adjacent to the tenement of Henry Hexstall to the west, the tenement of John Bishop, son of Robert to the south, the tenement of Thomas Fishere, Henry Hexstall and Richard Fishere to the east, and a tenement called Jopyssowe to the north, containing 3 rods of land, except 1 (?), 1 quarter and 1 perch.


Edit:
It was unusual for someone to live to 85 or 90, but not impossible. When I see that in sites like Ancestry or Wikitree, I think that the most likely explanation is that 2 or 3 people have been conflated into one.

The first is Gairdner or gardener.
The second is cordinar or cordwainer, i.e. shoemaker.
