Person distributing charity money (historical) (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

almoner

(Other definitions for almoner that I've seen before include "Man role (anag.)" , "Former officer giving relief to the poor" , "welfare worker once" , "Official giving out aid" , "one gave away?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
