lectern

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

'addresses held at this large relocating centre' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'at this large relocating centre' is the wordplay.
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'this large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'relocating' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'relocated' mean this).
'centre' with letters rearranged gives 'ectern'.
'l' next to 'ectern' is 'LECTERN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lectern that I've seen before include "Bible stand" , "Desk for a standing reader" , "Church reading desk" , "Stand with sloping top to hold book" , "stand in church" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
