Manningtree
Manningtree is a community as well as civil church in the Tendring district of Essex, England, which pushes the River Stour. It joins built-up areas of Lawford to the west as well as Mistley to the east as well as the three churches together are occasionally referred to as "Manningtree". Manningtree is a claimant for the title of smallest community in England. Manningtree has typically declared to be the tiniest community in England, and in 2007 mayor Lee Lay-Flurrie stated that this had actually been validated to her by the Census Customer Services, with 700 individuals in 20 hectares (using the high tide mark). However both this number and the 2011 census population for the civil parish of 900 is a lot higher than the 351 population of Fordwich in Kent. In April 2009 it was suggested that Manningtree must combine with Mistley and also Lawford to form a solitary parish, losing its different identification as a community. Since 2018 such a merger has actually not happened and the community council currently claims to be the tiniest by area. Manningtree becomes part of the selecting ward called Manningtree, Mistley, Litte Bentley and Tendring. The population of this ward at the 2011 census was 4,603.
