Ugthorpe history

---

Ugthorpe was an ancient demesne of the Crown, styled in the Domesday book as Ughetorp. The Mauleys became lords here at an early period, and from them the manor and estate descended by marriage to the Bigods, and afterwards to the Ratcliffes, by whom the whole estate was sold in parcels.

Catholic Recusant history

In 1596, Blessed Nicholas Postgate was born and lived in a humble home, now called The Hermitage, at Ugthorpe. He studied at Douay College, France, becoming a priest in 1628 and worked secretly as a priest. He is one of the 85 English Catholic Martyrs of England and Wales beatified by Pope John Paul II.

Other facts

Ugthorpe had two cobblers, a watchmaker, a joiner and a bacon factory with its own slaughterhouse. The slaughterhouse operated until the mid-1970s and was owned and run by Alice and Dinis Hart. The building is still often referred to as the Bacon House but has now been converted into a house.
