I believe the answer is:

levi

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

'old priest' is the definition.
'levi' can be an answer for 'priest' (biblical figure). I am not certain of the 'old' bit.

'in suitable vicarage' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'LEVI' can be found hidden inside 'suitable vicarage'.

Can you help me to learn more?
