Manningtree
Manningtree is a town 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 as well as Mistley to the eastern as well as the 3 parishes together are in some cases referred to as "Manningtree". Manningtree is a claimant for the title of tiniest community in England. Manningtree has actually generally asserted to be the tiniest town in England, and in 2007 mayor Lee Lay-Flurrie stated that this had actually been confirmed to her by the Census Customer Services, with 700 people in 20 hectares (using the high tide mark). Nevertheless both this figure as well as the 2011 census population for the civil church of 900 is much more than the 351 population of Fordwich in Kent. In April 2009 it was recommended that Manningtree should merge with Mistley and also Lawford to develop a solitary parish, shedding its separate identification as a town. As of 2018 such a merger has actually not occurred as well as the community council presently claims to be the smallest by area. Manningtree becomes part of the selecting ward called Manningtree, Mistley, Litte Bentley as well as Tendring. The population of this ward at the 2011 census was 4,603.
