He was re-elected for Preston for the Second Protectorate Parliament in 1656 and for the Third Protectorate Parliament in 1659.[2]
During the interregnum, Shuttleworth was a leading magistrate for Blackburn hundred with John Starkie of Huntroyde and was frequently recorded as officiating at marriages.[1]
