Strange Lancastrian housing name (6)

I believe the answer is:

angela

'name' is the definition.

'strange lancastrian housing' is the wordplay.
'housing' indicates a hidden word (part of the clue houses the answer).
'ANGELA' is hidden within 'strange lancastrian'.

(Other definitions for angela that I've seen before include "Girl's name" , "- Gheorghiu, Romanian soprano" , ". . . Lansbury (actress)" , "Frau Merkel" , "woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
