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

This could be a double definition.

'ablution' is the first definition.
(bath is a kind of ablution)

'facility in old english town' is the second 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?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bath that I've seen before include "Avon city - tub" , "cleaning unit" , "Stopper for hole (don't let 8 through it!)" , "place of Chaucer's wife" , "SW spa city" .)
