The village windmill has long been converted into a residential address and no longer grinds corn.
In the 1930s, 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 business was continued by their son and after that their grandson, both called Aaron Hart.
Originally the slaughterhouse and factory were at White House, later moving to a site near the Black Bull Inn.
Pigs were slaughtered each Tuesday and their meat was prepared and sold from the premises, at Whitby, and around the neighbouring villages.
The building is still often referred to as the Bacon House but has now been converted into a house.

The Village was home to William Fawkes from 1988-2018.
William was a teacher of the deaf who did pioneering work in teaching music to deaf children on a large scale basis.

Dorothy Fawkes (1935–2012) who was born in the village, was the daughter of Aaron Hart and the wife of William Fawkes.
She was previously the Deputy Principal of Norland Nursery Training College at Hungerford in Berkshire.
