Manningtree
Manningtree is a community and civil parish in the Tendring area of Essex, England, which pushes the River Stour. It adjoins built-up areas of Lawford to the west as well as Mistley to the east as well as the three parishes with each other are occasionally referred to as "Manningtree". Manningtree is a plaintiff for the title of smallest town in England. Manningtree has actually commonly asserted to be the smallest town in England, as well as in 2007 mayor Lee Lay-Flurrie said that this had been validated to her by the Census Customer Services, with 700 individuals in 20 hectares (using the high tide mark). However both this figure and the 2011 census population for the civil church of 900 is much greater than the 351 population of Fordwich in Kent. In April 2009 it was recommended that Manningtree needs to merge with Mistley as well as Lawford to form a single parish, shedding its different identification as a town. As of 2018 such a merger has not taken place and the town council presently claims to be the tiniest by area. Manningtree is part of the selecting ward called Manningtree, Mistley, Litte Bentley and Tendring. The population of this ward at the 2011 census was 4,603.
