A red latch fashioned for church (9)
I believe the answer is:
cathedral
'church' is the definition.
(I know that cathedral is a type of cathedral)
'a red latch fashioned' is the wordplay.
'fashioned' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'red'+'latch'='aredlatch'
'aredlatch' anagrammed gives 'CATHEDRAL'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cathedral that I've seen before include "Had claret (anag.)" , "Head church of diocese" , "seat of power" , "See 6" , "Halted car, badly, at the important church" .)
