east anglia

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

'old saxon kingdom' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'each swirl of nostalgia overlooking' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'ea' (abbreviation).
'swirl' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'swirling' mean this).
'of' becomes 'o''.
'overlooking' suggests deleting specific letters.
'nostalgia' with 'o' taken away is 'nstalgia'.
'nstalgia' with letters rearranged gives 'stanglia'.
'ea'+'stanglia'='EAST ANGLIA'
