These have been so much easier lately. Finished, but with two wordplay questions.
28a: Dell foreseeing e.g. calamity wi' holy books (5)- assuming NT is holy books but unsure about the rest.
9d: Pressures causing women at the top to cut artery? (8)- thinking there might be some abbreviation I don't know about.

Devil - fient = Fie - in Chambers (under fey) as foreseeing calamity +NT?

I read it as "Deil" (probably because of the the Scots wi), but you have Dell, so I may (not for the first time) just have written rubbish

Oh! I saw devil in Chambers but my puzzle printout is unclear and the first word is either dell or deil. Is deil a Scots word for devil or something?

Sorry, AB. Missed your second post.

Yes. Robert Burns wrote words to a song "The Deil's Awa with the Exciseman"

OK, that makes sense. Thanks, AB!

Letter-recognition skills come in handy; I'll have to work on mine.

Aristo - for 9dn, the abbreviation you're looking for may be M1, being the UK's first motorway ("artery"). This will give you (Mi)stresses.

Thanks, peterm. Certainly have heard of M1, but it never would have occurred to me. That pesky Atlantic again.
