Man from Norwich appeared (4)
I believe the answer is:
chap
'man' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)
'from norwich appeared' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'CHAP' is hidden in the letters of 'norwich appeared'.
(Other definitions for chap that I've seen before include "Cracked skin patch caused by cold" , "Skin crack due to cold - bloke" , "Split in skin" , "Fellow < makes > crack" , "Cracked patch (of skin) - gentleman" .)
