Patterns recreated for part of the church (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

transept

'for part of the church' is the definition.
('transept' is part of 'church')

'patterns recreated' is the wordplay.
'recreated' is an anagram indicator.
'patterns' is an anagram of 'TRANSEPT'.

(Other definitions for transept that I've seen before include "Part of church off aisle" , "Wing of cross-shaped church" , "Part of a church at right angles to the nave" , "Part of church intersecting nave" , "Patterns in part of church at right angle to nave" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
