Ross

manor

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

'building' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'manner mentioned' is the wordplay.
'mentioned' shows a homophone (sound like).
'manner' is a homophone of 'MANOR'.

'in the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for manor that I've seen before include "Country seat" , "patch" , "lord's home" , "police area" , "Operational base" .)
