Which church must get roofing material? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thatch

'roofing material?' is the definition.
(thatch is a kind of roofing material)

'which church' is the wordplay.
'which' becomes 'that'.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'that'+'ch'='THATCH'

'must get' is the link.

(Other definitions for thatch that I've seen before include "Natural roof cover" , "Old fashioned rural roof covering" , "Plant stalks as roofing material" , "top-level cover" , "Old-fashioned roofing material" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
