'''Tendring''' is a [[Non-metropolitan district|local government district]] in North East [[Essex]], [[England]]. It extends from the [[River Stour]] in the north, to the coast and the [[River Colne]] in the south, with the coast to the East and the town of [[Colchester]] to the west. Its council is based in [[Clacton-on-Sea]]. Places in the district include [[Frinton-on-Sea]], [[Walton-on-the-Naze]], [[Brightlingsea]] and [[Harwich]]. |
|||
Sometimes referred to as the "Tendring Peninsula", the district was formed on [[April 1]], [[1974]] as a merger of the borough of Harwich, with Brightlingsea, Clacton and [[Frinton and Walton]] [[urban district]]s, and [[Tendring Rural District]]. The name Tendring comes from the ancient Tendring [[Hundred (division)|Hundred]]. There is also a small [[Tendring (village)|Tendring]] village. |
|||
During the [[English civil war]], the witch-finder general, [[Matthew Hopkins]] carried out many trials throughout this and the surrounding area especially in the towns of [[Manningtree]] and [[Mistley]] on the River Stour. |
|||
==Topology== |
|||
The highest part of the district is a low (35 metres) ridge running west to east only 3 km south of the River Stour. The greater part of the district is undulating land sloping very gently to the south which is traversed by a number of streams. |
