thanks both. finished now, though i still don't see the parsing of 15d

For 19d think 17th century monarchy family, minus last letter. You once is old word for you and mouth as in river

thanks jono. yes, i'd seen 19. 15d?

15d first word is def. Anagram of calls, with three Latin term + a inside

thanks again, jono

I enjoyed this grid - although it's taken me a while, I've got all bar one , 14a. This doesn't seem to have given anyone else any difficulties, which may mean I have something else wrong.
Rate working for police? Coppers quietly resigning.
I _ C _ S _ N _ E (9)
I thought I had it with recusance, but then I got 3 d so that was wrong. Any hints please?

Just worked it out!

Thanks Richard,

For 17d I couldn't decide between the "sea ridge" or the "to the exclusion of".

I also haven't parsed 24a where I know who the "potter" is but can't make sense of the rest - ha! pun 😃

24a is the usual two letter acronym for artist plus N for north around a. thing the said potter might use, meaning countryman

I’m still a little unsure about the parsing of 21
