Bishop, for example, with quarters in ecclesiastical residence (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manse

'ecclesiastical residence' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bishop for example with quarters' is the wordplay.
'bishop for example' becomes 'man' (bishop is a kind of man).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'quarters' becomes 'se'.
'man'+'se'='MANSE'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for manse that I've seen before include "Untrue" , "Scottish minister's house" , "church property?" , "Accommodation" , "building near church?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
