Where sisters might cohabit with a bishop and governor? (5)
I believe the answer is:
abbey
'where sisters might cohabit' is the definition.
(nuns are sisters)
'a bishop and governor?' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'b' (abbreviation used in chess).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'governor?' becomes 'bey' (bey is a kind of governor).
'a'+'b'+'bey'='ABBEY'
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for abbey that I've seen before include "Monastic church" , "theatre" , "devotional site" , "Large church" , "sacred place" .)
