Strangely, Gill not ringing (7)
I believe the answer is:
tolling
'ringing' is the definition.
(tolling is a kind of ringing)
'strangely gill not' is the wordplay.
'strangely' is an anagram indicator.
'gill'+'not'='gillnot'
'gillnot' with letters rearranged gives 'TOLLING'.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
