Tendring is a village and civil parish in Essex. It gives its name to the Tendring District and before that the Tendring Hundred.^[2] Its name was given to the larger groupings because it was at the centre, not because it was larger than the other settlements. In 2011 the parish had a population of 736 and the district had a population of 138,048.^[3] The linear village straddles the B1035 from Manningtree to Thorpe-le-Soken.^[4]
