Crapulent carouser outside church in Newmarket? (10)
I believe the answer is:
racecourse
'newmarket?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'crapulent carouser outside church' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'church' could be 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England) and 'ce' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'carouser' is 'racourse' which is present in the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for racecourse that I've seen before include "better frequented location?" , "E.g. Ascot" , "Aintree, for example" , "Running track for horses" , "Hippodrome (originally)" .)
