Endless church district in capital (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paris

'capital' is the definition.
(capital of France)

'endless church district' is the wordplay.
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'church district' becomes 'parish' (area associated with a church).
'parish' with its final letter taken off is 'PARIS'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for paris that I've seen before include "English chronicler" , "I spar (anag)" , "Old prince" , "French department" , "City; Juliet's betrothed Count" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
