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