Ugthorpe

Ugthorpe is a village and civil parish in the Scarborough borough, situated near Whitby, North Yorkshire, England.[3] In 1596,[4] Blessed Nicholas Postgate, a Catholic priest and martyr, was born and lived in a humble home, now called The Hermitage, at Ugthorpe.He is one of the 85 English Catholic Martyrs of England and Wales beatified by Pope John Paul II in November 1987.For reasons which are not clear, he decided to base his actions in the Whitby area, possibly because he knew that priests arrived there from France.[5] Every year since 1974 an open-air service has been held – alternately in Egton Bridge and Ugthorpe – in honour of Fr Postgate.
