I leave a cleric in church (7)

I believe the answer is:

minster

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

'church' is the definition.
(minster is a kind of church)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for minster that I've seen before include "Abbey or priory church" , "Clergyman" , "Large church (eg, York)" , "Large church (or cathedral at York)" , "Old monastic cathedral, such as York's" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
