cheltenham

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ladies' college home' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'match helen played' is the wordplay.
'played' indicates anagramming the letters (letters playing around).
'match'+'helen'='matchhelen'
'matchhelen' is an anagram of 'CHELTENHAM'.

Can you help me to learn more?
