22a S L ews

[Lie-in King]

7d Sunless - '(pen)s(ive)' (at heart) + 'unless' (if not)
6d Anchorets (anchorites; hermits) - 'anchor' (security) + anag 'set'

[Lie-in King]

13d Is the clue - "whiLe inside breaking thEse old vows" (?)

Heastes (hests; behests) - 'as' (while, in) anag 'these'

[Daij]

Yes it is While and These - sorry, typo x 2

12a is now S?R?O?E. I can only think of Scrooge to fit that pattern but doesn't make sense (to me anyway)

[Lie-in King]

Strooke (old past tense of strike; also old "stroke") - 'rook' (castle, in) anag 'set'

[Daij]

Thank you very much Lie-in-King and Mamyalynne. Brilliant, as usual

[Lie-in King]

Sorry, was on phone -

Definition for 12a - "struck" (surrendered) as "struck the flag"
