Enter feature in Brighton church (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pierce

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

'enter' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'feature in brighton church' is the wordplay.
'feature in brighton' becomes 'pier' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'church' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'pier'+'ce'='PIERCE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pierce that I've seen before include "Bore hole through, perhaps ear" , "Cut through with a sharp instrument" , "go through" , "Not established as fact" , "Put hole through, penetrate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
