Church eminence (7)
I believe the answer is:
steeple
'church eminence' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steeple that I've seen before include "Pointed church tower" , "point" , "Pointed structure" , "Tall tower with spire on top of church" , "that the church may be under" .)
