D'oh! I couldn't figure out why
duck was in there (#1).
"Roast duck" =
FIRE DRAKE.
Absurdly simple, like most riddles, when you see the answer.
#3 still has me mystified. Thinking "aloud": The real Chetwood has no centre that I know of. Is the cryptic centre "TW" or "ETWO"? You can get ENTWOOD (an ancient and mysterious place, beginning with "E") from the latter by adding NOD, but how does this relate to "revere"?
Possibly silly guess for #6:
Emyn Muil? (E-muil)
