Some of the letters I've provided may be completely wrong!

44 Correct, fitting. Core, centre, the R from the end (finale) of 'player' and CT, court. Cor r e ct.

9a Collie = farm assistant (def)
col- pass
lie - remain

33 Landscapers, Capability Brown and his followers, landscape gardeners. Land's Capers, antics the nation gets up to.

33a: landscapers = (Capability) Brown and his followers
lands- nation
capers - antics

Many thanks to Malone & Elle.

With any luck I shall now be able to complete the three remaining gaps.

Wishing every one a very Merry Christmas.

I was right - I've finished the last three & can retire with a good conscience.

Re 14A - "part of service" - I was thinking rather more liturgically there.....

Glad I could help- and glad you got the rest finished off very quickly.
