Land next to church for a few houses (7)
I believe the answer is:
terrace
'few houses' is the definition.
'terrace' can be an answer for 'houses' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'few' bit.
'land next to church' is the wordplay.
'land' becomes 'terra' (I've seen this in another clue).
'next to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'church' becomes 'CE' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'terra'+'ce'='TERRACE'
'for a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for terrace that I've seen before include "Stadium standing area" , "street" , "Row of houses in one block" , "Caterer (anag) - houses in a row" , "Sloping area in stadium" .)
