Vicar let in new order bound for heaven? (8)
I believe the answer is:
vertical
'bound for heaven?' is the definition.
(pointing upwards)
'vicar let in new order' is the wordplay.
'in new order' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'vicar'+'let'='vicarlet'
'vicarlet' with letters rearranged gives 'VERTICAL'.
(Other definitions for vertical that I've seen before include "as is column" , "Ninety degrees to horizontal" , "At right angles to the base line" , "At right angles to the horizontal" , "Upright, perpendicular" .)
