1. Witches at work in the stream (10) 2. Miss the heavy weight (7) 3. Chip away at the sandbank in the sea (11) 4. Lower well known hymn tune composer (6,7) 5. Superb way to fire trend (5,5)
I'm pretty sure 4 is Nether Crimond in Aberdeenshire but it doesn't exactly fit the clue. Crimond is the tune composed by Jessie Seymour Irvine (The Lord's My Shepherd) - quite a coincidence her name is also a place name!!
