Rod took in the gallery and went around (7)

I believe the answer is:

rotated

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

'went around' is the definition.
('rotate' can be a synonym of 'go around')

'rod took in the' is the wordplay.
'took' becomes 'tate' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in the' indicates putting letters inside.
'rod' enclosing 'tate' is 'ROTATED'.

'gallery and' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
