Choir ceased working in province (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

archdiocese

'province' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'choir ceased working' is the wordplay.
'working' is an anagram indicator.
'choir'+'ceased'='choirceased'
'choirceased' anagrammed gives 'ARCHDIOCESE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for archdiocese that I've seen before include "York, say" , "York, for example" , "Important church area" , "eg York" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
