English explorer (7)

I believe the answer is:

raleigh

'english explorer' is the definition.
(Sir Walter Raleigh)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for raleigh that I've seen before include "Tudor explorer" , "Sir Walter, favourite of Elizabeth I" , "Queen's favourite" , "Did he fetch tobacco" , "English navigator executed for treason in 1618" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
