Churchman converts Dane (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dean

'churchman' is the definition.
(I know that dean is a type of clergyman)

'converts dane' is the wordplay.
'converts' is an anagram indicator.
'dane' is an anagram of 'DEAN'.

(Other definitions for dean that I've seen before include "Cathedral dignitary; head of university department" , "school head" , "Clergyman; narrow valley" , "Resident fellow" , "Senior academic administrator" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
