Child, glowing, lifted church somewhere in West Midlands (13)
I believe the answer is:
kidderminster
'somewhere in west midlands' is the definition.
(Kidderminster is a town in Worcestershire)
'child glowing lifted church' is the wordplay.
'child' becomes 'kid' (synonyms).
'glowing' becomes 'red' (red hot).
'lifted' is a reversal indicator (going up in down clue).
'church' becomes 'minster' (minster is a kind of church).
'red' written backwards gives 'der'.
'kid'+'der'+'minster'='KIDDERMINSTER'
(Other definitions for kidderminster that I've seen before include "Carpet-making town of Worcestershire" , "in the Midlands" , "Town renowned for carpets" , "Carpet town" , "Town on the Stour" .)
