Manningtree
Manningtree is a community as well as civil parish in the Tendring area of Essex, England, which lies on the River Stour. It adjoins built-up areas of Lawford to the west and Mistley to the eastern and the 3 churches with each other are often described as "Manningtree". Manningtree is a complaintant for the title of tiniest town in England. Manningtree has actually generally asserted to be the tiniest town in England, and also in 2007 mayor Lee Lay-Flurrie stated that this had been validated to her by the Census Customer Services, with 700 people in 20 hectares (making use of the high tide mark). Nonetheless both this number and also the 2011 census population for the civil church of 900 is much higher than the 351 population of Fordwich in Kent. In April 2009 it was recommended that Manningtree should combine with Mistley and Lawford to form a solitary parish, shedding its separate identity as a community. As of 2018 such a merger has not taken place and the town council presently asserts to be the tiniest by location. Manningtree belongs to the selecting ward called Manningtree, Mistley, Litte Bentley and also Tendring. The population of this ward at the 2011 census was 4,603.
