Money taken from chapel funds (4)
I believe the answer is:
pelf
'money' is the definition.
(pelf is a kind of money)
'taken from chapel funds' is the wordplay.
'taken from' indicates a hidden word.
'PELF' is hidden in the letters of 'chapel funds'.
(Other definitions for pelf that I've seen before include "Money" , "Lolly" , "ill-gotten gains" , "Lucre" , "Contemptuous expression for wealth" .)
