Can anyone explain please?
1. Tree bearing fruit - old service - ought to make you moan Ans A chip on one's shoulder
2. Poet places Sir Patrick between two kings Ans Edmund Spenser
3. It moves people up and down in class, given time Ans Chairlift
4. Employed by officials for a short time, I had come to be crabwise Ans Sidewards

Sir Patrick Spens is the hero (?) of an old ballad.

1 has ACER (tree), HIP (fruit) and SHOULD (ought), but I can't see the rest.

Yes - O for old + NONES (one of the canonical hours of service in a monastery)

4 is ID instead of T in STEWARDS
