Building in the manner mentioned (5)
I believe the answer is:
manor
'building' 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?
'manner mentioned' is the wordplay.
'mentioned' shows a homophone (sound like).
'manner' is a homophone of 'MANOR'.
'in the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for manor that I've seen before include "Country seat" , "patch" , "lord's home" , "police area" , "Operational base" .)
