Religious people with friends in France and Crouch End (5)
I believe the answer is:
amish
'religious people with' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'friends in france and crouch end' is the wordplay.
'friends in france' becomes 'amis' ('friends' in French).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'end' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'crouch' is 'h'.
'amis'+'h'='AMISH'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amish that I've seen before include "American religious sect" , "Community that settled in America" , "Mennonite sect members" , "US sectarians" , "Relating to a strict American sect" .)
