Rubbish from Wrotham? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rot

'rubbish' is the definition.
(both can mean nonsense)

'from wrotham?' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'ROT' can be found hidden inside 'wrotham'.

(Other definitions for rot that I've seen before include "Break down, waste away" , "Decay - nonsense" , "Decay, perish" , "Corruption" , "Decay in grotesque way" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
