'tower' is the definition.
(I know that steeple is a type of tower)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for steeple that I've seen before include "Sort of chase" , "that the church may be under" , "Pointed church tower" , "part of church" , "point" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
