Smith's property in an East Anglian village (5)
I believe the answer is:
anvil
'smith's property' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'in an east anglian village' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ANVIL' is hidden within 'east anglian village'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anvil that I've seen before include "Forge equipment" , "Smith's heavy iron block" , "Block used in forge" , "Bone" , "Forging equipment" .)
