Opportunity to get money for part of the church (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chancel

'part of the church' is the definition.
('chancel' is part of 'church')

'opportunity to get money' is the wordplay.
'opportunity' becomes 'chance' ('chance' can be a synonym of 'opportunity').
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'money' becomes 'l' (L can mean 'pounds').
'chance'+'l'='CHANCEL'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chancel that I've seen before include "Part of church near altar" , "space for choir" , "where sanctuary may be found" , "Part of church containing altar" , "Where to see choir" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
