Royal egg (anag) — a drain on the church? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gargoyle

(Other definitions for gargoyle that I've seen before include "Grotesque carved face as old rainwater spout" , "It drains off water" , "Grotesque face of the gutter" , "Grotesque gutter spout from glory age" , "Grotesque projection" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
