The guide would perform an hour-and-a-half show covering historical tales such as Robert Kett, tragic cases, villains and disease.
Mr Marples said: "It's essentially part-time and once the material provided is learnt, they will have one show every week.
"Having a bit of sense of fun, and not being afraid of crowd would be useful. Someone who loves performance with an audience and show a bit of pizzazz is great.

"People can ask strange questions about Norwich or ghosts so it is not just about learning a script."
