Bar formerly including church for chastity (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

innocence

'chastity' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bar formerly including church' is the wordplay.
'bar' becomes 'inn' (both can mean a drinking establishment).
'formerly' becomes 'once' (synonyms).
'including' is an insertion indicator.
'church' becomes 'CE' (Church of England).
'once' placed around 'ce' is 'ocence'.
'inn'+'ocence'='INNOCENCE'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for innocence that I've seen before include "Naivety" , "Blamelessness" , "Freedom from guilt" , "''Songs of ... and Experience'' (William Blake)" , "clean?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
