What is the smallest town in Scotland?
Manningtree... home to only 700!
An earlier reply suggested Manningtree comprised thee parishes and had therefore lost its crown, leaving Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight with claim to this title with a population of just under 1000.
Actually, as a resident of Manningtree I can tell you that's wrong. Manningtree has its own town council. Lawford and Mistley - the adjoining parishes - have their own council. indeed any efforts to get all three to unite have failed.
Since Manningtree is a standalone Town council it may be called the smallest town in England, but only by acreage (around 35 acres), but not by population. That accolade goes to Fordwich in Kent, according to the Guinness Book of Records.
