Nobles at court out Hammersmith way? (6)
I believe the answer is:
barons
'nobles' is the definition.
(baron is a kind of noble)
'at court out hammersmith way?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'at' could be 'on' (location) and 'on' is present in the answer.
'way?' could be 's' (Compass direction - South) and 's' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bar' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for barons that I've seen before include "No bars for the British peers" , "Lords" , "Low-ranking British peers" .)
