vicarage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rectory' is the definition.
(I know that rectory can be written as vicarage)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for vicarage that I've seen before include "Minister's home" , "Church accommodation" , "House of a C of E clergyman" , "Church residence" , "Minister's place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
