Completely stuck with the bottom half so very few crossing letters:
16d Note line conveyed by funny Geordie poet (9) sorry no letters
29a New curate taking religious education in Victor's work? (8)
possibly an anagram of curate + re or ri?
30a Reading can put ideas in apoet's mind for one! (6)
11a Noble with yen for Augusta's behind! (5) B?R?N baron would be too simple an answer for noble.....possibly Byron? (he had a half sister augusta??)
