I'd recalled minister's residence in catalogue (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

directory

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

'i'd recalled minister's residence' is the wordplay.
'recalled' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'minister's residence' becomes 'rectory' (home of a rector or other church minister).
'id' back-to-front is 'di'.
'di'+'rectory'='DIRECTORY'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for directory that I've seen before include "Book listing phone numbers" , "list of contacts" , "Guide" , "Catalogue" , "Book listing names of inhabitants, users etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
