Rectories I mixed up delivering desk (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

escritoire

'desk' is the definition.
(I know that escritoire is a type of desk)

'rectories i mixed up' is the wordplay.
'mixed up' is an anagram indicator.
'rectories'+'i'='rectoriesi'
'rectoriesi' anagrammed gives 'ESCRITOIRE'.

'delivering' is the link.

(Other definitions for escritoire that I've seen before include "Furniture item" , "Writing desk" , "Support for author" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
