Church recess (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apse

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">church recess</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(part of a church)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for apse that I've seen before include "where praetor sat" , "may be seen in church!" , "Part of a church with the altar" , "Niche in church" , "room for an altar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Telegraph, The Mirror, the LA Times, The Daily Mail, the Evening Standard, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Times, the Penny Press, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian.
