Smith's property held by Granville (5)
I believe the answer is:
anvil
'smith's property' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'held by granville' is the wordplay.
'held by' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ANVIL' can be found hidden inside 'granville'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anvil that I've seen before include "Smithy's last" , "One getting hammered regularly" , "Iron block; incus" , "Smith's heavy iron block" , "Smithy's block" .)
