PERGOLA was my last too and I did exactly the same looking for 10 letter words and thought of PERSONA. The Cross in the clue for Crossword amazed me, and I’m sure it was just an oversight. The other slight niggle I had was 8 down, which, while I have not seen the solution, I’ve in as BAD CONDUCTOR. As a phrase it’s not in Concise OED or Chambers (the 2 dicts I have at the moment). However, when I keyed the known letters into OneLook it came up as the only option. Liked the touch of the two Snaps in the first two clues and a link between the third and fourth also. Favourite clues: TORSION and also 4 down – lovely surface.
