Any ideas, please for 22d: Old blemish to remain - it's not very old.
I have * T * Y * E (6 letters)

And 31 a.

Talk in church when money has been stolen from old crate. (5 letters)
I have SER**

22 Stayne
31 Seron, crate - Sermon, talk in church, with the m /money removed.

Thank you. I thought it was stayne but couldn't think why.

STAY (to remain) + NE (obsolete form of 'not', ie 'not very old') = STAYNE, an old spelling of 'stain'

Last one and need help!
