Enemies ought to work in place of worship (7,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meeting house

'place of worship' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'enemies ought to work' is the wordplay.
'to work' indicates an anagram.
'enemies'+'ought'='enemiesought'
'enemiesought' anagrammed gives 'MEETING-HOUSE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for meeting house that I've seen before include "Quaker place of worship" , "Quaker church" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
