Accord Henry a new position in church (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

archdeaconry

'position in church' is the definition.
(position of an archdeacon)

'accord henry a new' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'accord'+'henry'+'a'='accordhenrya'
'accordhenrya' is an anagram of 'ARCHDEACONRY'.

(Another definition for archdeaconry that I've seen is " church office".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
