Named after Brigadier Glynn Hughes who was MO for 11th Armoured Division during the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, April 1945. He forced the German’s out from the local lazarett (hospital) and used it to treat the now freed concentration camp victims. It was duly named in his honour. It was given consideration for being transformed into an Operations in Built Up Areas (OBUA) village by 32 Engineer Regiment RE, but this has now been decided against.
