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

'crane' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in greenwich abode' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ICHABOD' is hidden within 'greenwich abode'.

'nested' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for ichabod that I've seen is " the glory is departed".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
