 It is conjectured that Hugh died soon after the election of Waterville.It is sometimes thought that Hugh also wrote the concluding portions of the Peterborough Chronicle, a local version of the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle", which, like his history, comes abruptly to an end with Abbot William of Waterville's election.This has been rejected on the basis that, according to one writer, Hugh failed to understand the English of the Chronicle fully.
