Ground Lancaster inherited (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ancestral

'inherited' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ground lancaster' is the wordplay.
'ground' is an anagram indicator ('grind' the letters into a new form).
'lancaster' with letters rearranged gives 'ANCESTRAL'.

(Other definitions for ancestral that I've seen before include "handed down by family" , "description of voices prophesying war?" , "To do with forebears, say stately home" , "Patrimonial" , "Belonging to the house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
