Traditional roof in which church? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thatch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'traditional roof' is the definition.
'thatch' can be an answer for 'roof' (thatch is a kind of roof). I'm unsure of the 'traditional' bit.

'which church?' is the wordplay.
'which' becomes 'that' ('that' and 'which' are often synonymous).
'church?' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'that'+'ch'='THATCH'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thatch that I've seen before include "Roofing material - thick hair" , "Alternative to lead roof" , "Reed roof-covering" , "Old roof covering for house" , "nothing of interest to thief wanting roof lead" .)
