William Pike
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blessed William Pike (–22 December 1591) was an English Roman Catholic martyr who was beatified in 1987.
Several sources state that William was born in Dorset, lived at West Moors in West Parley, worked as a carpenter, and was executed by being hung, drawn and quartered on 22 December 1591 for denying the Royal Supremacy. He is thought to have been converted to Catholicism by Thomas Pilchard.
