Smith's property held by Granville (5)
I believe the answer is:
anvil
'smith's property' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'held by granville' is the wordplay.
'held by' indicates a hidden word.
'ANVIL' is hidden within 'granville'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anvil that I've seen before include "Smithy's last" , "One getting hammered regularly" , "Iron block; incus" , "Smith's heavy iron block" , "Smithy's block" .)
