'town' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'learning about doctrine' is the wordplay.
'learning' becomes 'lore' (both can mean tradition or knowledge).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'doctrine' becomes 'ism' (suffix for disciplines or schools of thought).
'lore' enclosing 'ism' is 'LISMORE'.

'in' is the link.
