Pretty average place with a church (6)
I believe the answer is:
parish
'a church' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'pretty average place' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'average' could be 'par' (average score in golf) and 'par' is located in the answer.
'place' could be 'is' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'is' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'h' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parish that I've seen before include "quarter" , "Part of diocese" , "District with own church and clergyman" , "Diocesan subdivision" , "administrative district" .)
