Please can someone help me with the parsing of this one: Foot of water in Gloucester? (7)
I know it's SPONDEE, which is a foot and it has something to do with pond I guess. Is it some kind of 'joke' about Gloucester dialect?

[JJ109]

Pond (water) "in" see (The See of Gloucester)

[scorpiojo]

Gloucester is a holy See, around pond

[Toorak]

Glousceter is a cathedral city - a see

Pond inside see

[dannyk13]

pond (water) inside see( Diocese)

[JJ109]

see = the diocese of a bishop, or the place within it where his or her cathedral or procathedral is situated

[fraseralex]

Ah, ok. Thanks all.

Isn't "Gloucester" also a spondee?
