I believe the answer is:

dwelt

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

'lived' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'well in part we hear' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'we' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dwelt that I've seen before include "Lived, resided" , "brooded" , "Lived (in a place)" , "Focused anxiously" , "Remained" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
