Minister's place has lines under right-hand page (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rectory

'minister's place' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'lines under right-hand page' is the wordplay.
'lines' becomes 'ry' (abbreviation for railway).
'under' means one lot of letters go next to another (below, in a down clue).
'right-hand page' becomes 'recto' (right-hand page of a book).
'ry' after 'recto' is 'RECTORY'.

'has' is the link.

(Other definitions for rectory that I've seen before include "minister's place" , "Clergyman's residence" , "Clergyman's house" , "Ecclesiastical dwelling-house" , "Incumbent's house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
