Proctor seen unexpectedly in part of Westminster Abbey (5,6)

I believe the answer is:

poets corner

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

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for poets corner that I've seen before include "Area of Westminster Abbey where Tennyson, Browning and Masefield are commemorated" , "Literary area in Westminster abbey" , "Westminster resting-place of, eg, Chaucer" , "restful literary area" , "Dickens, Hardy buried here" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
