Christians of note on street in Rolls (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baptists

'christians' is the definition.
(Baptist is an example)

'note on street in rolls' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'ti' (musical note, as in do re mi so fa la ti do).
'on' indicates putting letters inside.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'rolls' becomes 'baps' (bap can mean a bread roll).
'st' inserted inside 'baps' is 'bapsts'.
'ti' inserted within 'bapsts' is 'BAPTISTS'.

'of' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
