Just realised, I had 19a wrong, I had nylon but it must be rayon as it's eparchy.......good job I do the xword in pencil first eh?

What is difference between Eparchy and Exarchy,both seem relevant to this clue.

[RAV4 Girl]

Dunno ianmunt, but too late now, it's already posted, so it's in Kate's hands now......

From what I gather an Eparchy is a diocese in the Orthodox church where an Exarchy is a position within the diocese.

It is the diocese we are being asked for here, ergo Eparchy.

[ianmunt]

Sounds right! Thanks

In English, it's "got", not "gotten"...
