Ten parts distributed to some of the church (8)
I believe the answer is:
transept
'some of the church' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'ten parts distributed' is the wordplay.
'distributed' indicates an anagram.
'ten'+'parts'='tenparts'
'tenparts' is an anagram of 'TRANSEPT'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for transept that I've seen before include "Cross-aisle in church" , "Side part of a church" , "always running north to south" , "Part of church intersecting nave" , "Part of a church at right angles to the nave" .)
