Timely end for cathedral (3)
I believe the answer is:
ely
This might be a double definition.
'timely end' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'for cathedral' is the second definition.
(cathedral city in Cambridgeshire)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ely that I've seen before include "Fenland cathedral town" , "UK city" , "'Isle' in Cambridgeshire" , "Cathedral city in Cambridgeshire" , "East Anglian city" .)
