Church craft on table (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chart

'table' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'church craft on' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'craft' becomes 'art' (both can mean cunning or trickery).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ch'+'art'='CHART'

(Other definitions for chart that I've seen before include "Marine map" , "Nautical map" , "Table or graph" , "what could be a pie" , "Hit parade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
