Half turn to the church and the sound of bells (6)
I believe the answer is:
chimes
'the sound of bells' is the definition.
'chimes' can be an answer for 'bells' ('chime' can be a synonym of 'bell'). I'm unsure of the 'the sound of' bit.
'half turn to the church' is the wordplay.
'half' becomes 'semi' (I've seen this before).
'turn' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'the church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'semi' reversed gives 'imes'.
'imes' put after 'ch' is 'CHIMES'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chimes that I've seen before include "Sounds made by bells" , "Set of tuned bells struck with a hammer" , "Ringing sounds" , "Rings" , "Bell sounds, as fitted to front door" .)
