mason

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

'he' is the definition.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for mason that I've seen before include "one called Perry?" , "figure in lodge" , "US comedian" , "Stone carver" , "Builder in stone" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
