Crapulent carouser outside church in Newmarket? (10)
I believe the answer is:
racecourse
'newmarket?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'crapulent carouser outside church' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'church' could be 'ce' (Church of England) and 'ce' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'carouser' is 'racourse' which is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for racecourse that I've seen before include "better frequented location?" , "E.g. Ascot" , "Aintree, for example" , "Running track for horses" , "Hippodrome (originally)" .)
