I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'father's changing room' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'detectives try to surround' is the wordplay.
'VESTRY' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vestry that I've seen before include "meeting of parishioners" , "Somewhere in church" , "Small room attached to church" , "Church changing room" , "Storage and dressing room in a church" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
