Story about black crane flying from place of worship (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tabernacle

'place of worship' is the definition.
(tabernacle is a kind of place of worship)

'story about black crane flying' is the wordplay.
'story' becomes 'tale' ('tale' can be a synonym of 'story'**).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'black' becomes 'b' (as in pencil classifications).
'flying' indicates anagramming the letters.
'b'+'crane'='bcrane'
'bcrane' anagrammed gives 'bernac'.
'tale' enclosing 'bernac' is 'TABERNACLE'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for tabernacle that I've seen before include "Mormon temple" , "niche in church" , "sanctuary" , "Mormon place of worship" , "Mormon meeting-place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
