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

'home' is the definition.
(rectory is a kind of home)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rectory that I've seen before include "Ecclesiastical dwelling-house" , "minister's place" , "Vicarage" , "Incumbent's house" , "Clergyman's residence" .)
