Cupola is lead covering part of church (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aisle

'part of church' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cupola is lead covering' is the wordplay.
'covering' indicates a hidden word.
'AISLE' can be found hidden inside 'cupola is lead'.

(Other definitions for aisle that I've seen before include "Way between seats" , "Walkway between seats" , "way for prospective union members?" , "lateral strip" , "Divide in a church" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
