William Way, also known by the aliases May or Flower, was an English Catholic priest who was martyred in 1588. Born in the Diocese of Exeter, he traveled to France to complete his religious studies because Catholic seminaries had been closed in England following the Protestant Reformation. After being ordained a priest in Laon, he returned to his home country, where he was eventually arrested and charged for his priesthood. He was executed at Kingston upon Thames during the reign of Elizabeth I.
