There are two things that come to mind when you think of a sheriff. Either it's the lawman in a cowboy film, wearing a Stetson hat, a gold star on the chest and riding a horse. Or far more appropriately to the UK, the nasty and villainous Sheriff of Nottingham constantly thwarted by Robin Hood.
The role of High Sheriff has it roots in the latter, but as time has gone by, many of the original responsibilites have been shared across other roles. For example, the High Sheriff doesn't have to assemble a posse to chase down brigands anymore. Now the role is largely ceremonial, but nevertheless an important one, as it has been preserved purely to make a positive impact.
In this episode of the What Do You Do? podcast, Maynard Burton explains exactly how the role of High Sheriff has evolved over the past thousand years to be something that benefits the county of Worcestershire.
