Top monk (5)
I believe the answer is:
abbot
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">top monk</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for abbot that I've seen before include "Brother" , "chap who'll be over order?" , "Convent leader, male" , "head in order" , "Head of abbey" .)
