Nobles at court out Hammersmith way? (6)
I believe the answer is:
barons
'nobles' is the definition.
(baron is a kind of noble)
'at court out hammersmith way?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'at' could be 'on' (location) and 'on' is located in the answer.
'way?' could be 's' (Compass direction - South) and 's' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bar' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for barons that I've seen before include "No bars for the British peers" , "Lords" , "Low-ranking British peers" .)
