Recent arrival discovered domes C Wren designed (8)
I believe the answer is:
newcomer
'recent arrival' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'discovered domes c wren designed' is the wordplay.
'discovered' means to look at the middle letters (dis-covered - outer letters removed).
'designed' is an anagram indicator (designed with the letters).
The centre of 'domes' is 'ome'.
'ome'+'c'+'wren'='omecwren'
'omecwren' anagrammed gives 'NEWCOMER'.
(Other definitions for newcomer that I've seen before include "Late arrival" , "2 arrival" , "Fresh arrival" , "Starter" , "He has just arrived or started" .)
