Historical spook somewhere in Norfolk (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

walsingham

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

'historical spook' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'somewhere in norfolk' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for walsingham that I've seen is " Statesman".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
