Signs of rising damp tend to be close to the ground, usually no higher than a metre. It usually works its way up walls in horizontal lines. Penetrating damp usually develops in patches and can often be much higher up. For more advice, speak to a damp proofing professional.
Manningtree
Manningtree is a community as well as civil church in the Tendring area of Essex, England, which rests on the River Stour. It adjoins built-up areas of Lawford to the west and Mistley to the east and the 3 churches together are in some cases referred to as "Manningtree". Manningtree is a complaintant for the title of smallest town in England. Manningtree has typically asserted to be the tiniest community in England, and also in 2007 mayor Lee Lay-Flurrie stated that this had actually been verified to her by the Census Customer Services, with 700 people in 20 hectares (making use of the high tide mark). However both this number and the 2011 census population for the civil church of 900 is a lot higher than the 351 population of Fordwich in Kent. In April 2009 it was suggested that Manningtree should merge with Mistley and also Lawford to form a single church, shedding its separate identification as a town. Since 2018 such a merging has not happened as well as the town council currently asserts to be the tiniest by area. Manningtree belongs to the electoral ward called Manningtree, Mistley, Litte Bentley and also Tendring. The population of this ward at the 2011 census was 4,603.
