The following persons served as Governor of the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago of islands and islets off the coast of Cornwall. Governor was a military commission given by the monarch in consultation with the Admiralty in recognition of the islands' strategic position. The office of governor was pre-eminent in military law but not in civil law, where the magistracy was vested in the proprietor, who had a leasehold from the Duchy of Cornwall for the islands' land area. Usually the proprietor served as governor, although, according to Robert Heath, a Major Bennett was governor for a short time before proprietor Francis Godolphin, 2nd Earl of Godolphin was commissioned on 7 July 1733. The proprietor/governor was non-resident, delegating the military functions to a lieutenant-governor and the civil functions to a council of twelve residents.
