Church recess (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apse

'church recess' is the definition.
(part of a church)

This is the entire clue.

(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 Daily Mail, The Wall Street Journal, The Independent, the Penny Press, the Sydney Morning Herald, the LA Times, The Mirror, The Guardian, the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
