The Sheriff
Our Faire Sheriff is portrayed by Bill Carver, a local medievalist. During the day, Bill fights a never-ending battle to educate Norfolk's schoolchildren. On weekends or time off, he is most likely swordfighting, practicing an ancestral religion or reading and writing. He is greatly amused at a role where he gets to play The Corrupt Sheriff, to run around and herald loudly, and to arrest the innocent for terrible crimes.
