Part of volume about crime in church establishment (9)
I believe the answer is:
parsonage
'church establishment' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'part of volume about crime' is the wordplay.
'part of' is an insertion indicator.
'volume about' becomes 'page' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'crime' becomes 'arson' (crime of illegally starting a fire).
'page' going around 'arson' is 'PARSONAGE'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parsonage that I've seen before include "Clergyman's address" , "cleric' s place" , "Home of clergyman" , "Framley - (Trollope)" , "Clerical residence" .)
