English in Tonbridge? Only some wanted Eastern religion! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shinto

'eastern religion' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'english in tonbridge? only some wanted' is the wordplay.
'only some wanted' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SHINTO' is hidden in the letters of 'english in tonbridge'.

(Other definitions for shinto that I've seen before include "Ancestor-worshipping religion of Japan" , "Japanese worship" , "State religion of Japan until 1945" , "Japanese ancestor-worshipping religion" , "Japanese religion revering ancestors" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
