26a. Remains kept by churchwarden, say (6).

I have D*T*L*. I can see dottle fitting with remains, but I can't see how the churchwarden part is relevant. Or am I completely off the mark? Any ideas?

Chur,

Dottle is tobacco remains left in a pipe. A churchwarden is a kind of pipe.

The Church Warden in Dad's Army was a bit of a fool!

Churchwarden = pipe.
Well, stap my vittles!
