I've also listed the separate districts on the Essex page (including
Unitary Authorities that are part of the ceremonial county of
Essex).
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Essex
Some time ago, when I was playing, I added the "Towns in Essex"
section to that page based on a Wikipedia template (my version of
which is at {{User:EdLoach/Essex}}). This lists the Unitary
Authorities and Districts at the top and towns underneath. On each
district page I then list the towns in that district AND any
villages with their own page (which I felt may become too numerous
to be on the county page). If anyone checks in any detail, the towns
on that template section probably don't match those listed in each
district as I've done quite a lot of research since making the
template to work out which areas are towns, which are postal towns
but now suburbs of larger areas, and which aren't either. I think
therefore that the towns listed on each district page are probably
more correct than those in the template (though some places are
perhaps open to debate). Since then I've tended to concentrate on
the district page where I live.

The Essex page was originally based on the Suffolk page, so should
be fairly easy for you to update if need be.
