Pretty average place with a church (6)
I believe the answer is:
parish
'a church' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'pretty average place' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'average' could be 'par' (average score in golf) and 'par' is found in the answer.
'place' could be 'is' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'is' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'h' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parish that I've seen before include "quarter" , "Part of diocese" , "District with own church and clergyman" , "Diocesan subdivision" , "administrative district" .)
