Walked home, going round church (5)
I believe the answer is:
paced
'walked' is the definition.
(pacing is a kind of walking)
'home going round church' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'pad' (pad can mean a person's home).
'going round' is an insertion indicator (some letters go around others).
'church' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'pad' enclosing 'ce' is 'PACED'.
(Other definitions for paced that I've seen before include "assist an athlete" , "Steadily walked" , "set the tempo" , "Made anxious moves" , "Walked at a steady speed" .)
