Regularly ignored forlorn St Paul's altar hanging (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

frontal

'altar hanging' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'regularly ignored forlorn st paul's' is the wordplay.
'regularly ignored' means one should take alternating letters.
'forlorn'+'st'+'pauls'='forlornstpauls'
The alternate letters of 'forlornstpauls' are 'FRONTAL'.

(Other definitions for frontal that I've seen before include "Decorative church item" , "altar covering" , "Relating to the forehead" , "Altar hanging" , "Direct and forceful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
