Court jester? (6)
I believe the answer is:
bailey
This clue is a double definition.
'court' is the first definition.
(I know that bailey is a type of court)
'jester?' is the second definition.
(comedian Bill Bailey, someone who jests)
(Other definitions for bailey that I've seen before include "Outer wall of castle, or Old criminal court in London" , "He made bridge" , "Outer defence castle wall" .)
