Crossword Genius

Old village puts pressure on god (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thorp

'old village' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'pressure on god' is the wordplay.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (scientific abbreviation).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'god' becomes 'thor' (Thor is an example).
'p' put after 'thor' is 'THORP'.

'puts' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
