The Speaker of the Virginia House of Burgesses was the presiding officer of the House of Burgesses , the lower house of the Virginia General Assembly during the period in which Virginia was a colony of Great Britain . The General Assembly itself was first organized in 1619, when the colony was owned and administered by the London Company . Twenty two burgesses were elected to that Assembly, two each from eleven designated settlement areas in the colony. The Assembly formed a unicameral legislature made up of the burgesses and the appointed members of the Governor s Council, presided over by the Governor, George Yeardley . Yeardley designated his secretary, John Pory , a council member, as Speaker of the General Assembly. Pory, however, appears to have acted only as secretary of the Assembly. ref name kukla1 Kukla, pp. 7 10 ref The General or Grand Assembly met seventeen more times from that first session through 1642.

In 1297, the Burgery of Sheffield was established in the Charter to the Town of Sheffield. Thomas de Furnival , Lord of the Manor of Sheffield, granted land to the freeholders of Sheffield in return for an annual payment, and a Common Burgery administrated them. ref name history Clyde Binfield et al., The History of the City of Sheffield 1843 1993 Volume I Politics ref By the 1540s, the Burgery was unable to maintain essential public works, or to provide for local unemployed people. In 1554, a charter established the Twelve Capital Burgesses, effectively spliting the old Burgery in two. The Burgesses were charged with providing stipend s for three assistant ministers at the church and with the maintenance of the church.
