Manningtree
Manningtree is a community and also civil parish in the Tendring district of Essex, England, which lies on the River Stour. It adjoins built-up areas of Lawford to the west and also Mistley to the eastern and also the 3 churches together are in some cases referred to as "Manningtree". Manningtree is a plaintiff for the title of tiniest community in England. Manningtree has actually generally asserted to be the tiniest town in England, and also in 2007 mayor Lee Lay-Flurrie claimed that this had been validated to her by the Census Customer Services, with 700 people in 20 hectares (using the high tide mark). However both this number and also 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 proposed that Manningtree ought to combine with Mistley as well as Lawford to form a solitary church, losing its separate identity as a town. Since 2018 such a merging has not taken place and the town council currently claims to be the smallest by area. Manningtree becomes part of the selecting ward called Manningtree, Mistley, Litte Bentley and also Tendring. The population of this ward at the 2011 census was 4,603.
