Seaside feature member of nobility talked of (4)
I believe the answer is:
pier
'seaside feature member' is the definition.
'pier' can be an answer for 'member' (I have seen 'Upright member' mean 'pier' so perhaps 'member' could also mean 'pier'). I'm not sure about the 'seaside feature' bit.
'nobility talked of' is the wordplay.
'nobility' becomes 'peer' (peer is a kind of nobility).
'talked of' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'peer' sounds like 'PIER'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pier that I've seen before include "A jetty or promenade" , "Promenade over water" , "Upright member" , "Wharf or pillar" , "Structure with a deck, built over water" .)
