English city’s giving wish for peace — small number turned up (5)
I believe the answer is:
ripon
'english city's' is the definition.
(city in Yorkshire)
'giving wish for peace small number turned up' is the wordplay.
'giving' says to put letters next to each other.
'wish for peace' becomes 'RIP' (Rest in Peace).
'small number' becomes 'no' (abbreviation for 'number').
'turned up' is a reversal indicator.
'no' in reverse letter order is 'on'.
'rip' put next to 'on' is 'RIPON'.
(Other definitions for ripon that I've seen before include "N. Yorks city" , "N. Yorks market town" , "historic city" , "Town in N. Yorkshire" , "minster" .)
