Church recess (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apse

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">church recess</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(part of a church)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for apse that I've seen before include "where praetor sat" , "may be seen in church!" , "Part of a church with the altar" , "Niche in church" , "room for an altar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Guardian, the Evening Standard, the LA Times, The Independent, the Penny Press, The Wall Street Journal, The Daily Mail, The Telegraph, The Times, the Sydney Morning Herald and The New York Times.
