Improve in hour after noon in Clapton? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enrich

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'improve' is the definition.
(enriching is a kind of improving)

'hour after noon in clapton?' is the wordplay.
'hour' becomes 'h'.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'noon' becomes 'n'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'clapton?' becomes 'eric' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'n' inserted inside 'eric' is 'enric'.
'h' put after 'enric' is 'ENRICH'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enrich that I've seen before include "Improve, soil say" , "Adorn, enhance or make wealthy" , "Heighten" , "Concentrate" , "develop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
