           <description><![CDATA[
  The Saxon word “aelfet-ee”, meaning “swan island”, has become corrupted over the years until it is now “Elvet”, and refers to the area of land across the River Wear, due west of the peninsula, on

  horses used to be run by their owners to show them off when fairs were held there.
