Presbyterian ignores priest a stone's throw away
I believe the answer is:
nearby
'away' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'presbyterian ignores priest a stone's' is the wordplay.
'ignores' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'a stone's' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'stoned' mean this (can mean on drugs or drunk)).
'presbyterian' with 'priest' taken away is 'byeran'.
'byeran' is an anagram of 'NEARBY'.
'throw' is the link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nearby that I've seen before include "Local" , "in the neighbourhood" , "Just round the corner?" , "In the vicinity" , "Adjacent" .)
