Batty place where high tolls may be expected? (6)
I believe the answer is:
belfry
'batty place' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'high tolls may be expected?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'be' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'where' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for belfry that I've seen before include "Bats in the campanile?" , "Part of a tower or steeple" , "Where to find peal" , "Interior of a steeple (where bats hang out?)" , "Place for church bells" .)
