I think this is a a double definition: an L-wing on a house (can be spelt ell) and the measure of cloth which is 45 inches.

There is also the expression Give an inch and take an ell. (As an alternative to 'take a mile')

Thanks, Loge. I knew that ell was a measurement, but didn't know about the L-wing of a house.
