Destroyer of a famous museum at Leatherhead (6)
I believe the answer is:
vandal
'destroyer' is the definition.
(vandal is a kind of destroyer)
'a famous museum at leatherhead' is the wordplay.
'a famous museum' becomes 'vanda' (Victoria and Albert Museum. I am not sure about the 'famous' bit.).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'leatherhead' becomes 'l' (head letter of 'leather').
'vanda'+'l'='VANDAL'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vandal that I've seen before include "One who damages things maliciously" , "Destructive type" , "Barbarian - wrecker" , "Destructive person" , "One of those who sacked Rome in 455" .)
