He sat in the Irish House of Commons from 1661 to 1665 and was Attorney-General for Ireland. He fought in the Parliamentary army in the Civil War.Shapcote was the eldest son of Henry Shapcote of Bradninch and his first wife Wilmot Hill and was baptised on 4 February 1621. He entered Lincoln's Inn in 1638 and was called to the bar in 1645. From 1644 to 1646, he was a colonel in the Parliamentary army. He was elected Member of Parliament for Tiverton for the Long Parliament on 7 December 1646 but was excluded in 1649 under Pride's Purge.Shapcote became Recorder of Tiverton by 1647 and was also recorder of Bradninch and South Molton. He was J.P. for Devon from 1647 to 1649. In 1654 he was elected MP for Tiverton in the First Protectorate Parliament. He became commissioner for militia for Devon and commissioner for oyer and terminer on Western circuit in 1655. In 1656 he was re-elected MP for TIverton for the Second Protectorate Parliament. Also in 1656 he became commissioner for security, commissioner for assessment for Devon, commissioner for fraudulent debentures and Solicitor-General for Ireland. He became commissioner for new buildings in London in 1657. In 1659 he was unsuccessful in his attempt to be re-elected MP for Tiverton in a double return. He was deprived of his position as Solicitor General for Ireland when the Rump Parliament was restored, but became Attorney-General for Ireland when the secluded members were allowed in. In April 1660 he was elected MP for Tiverton again for the Convention Parliament in which he was very active, being particularly concerned with Irish matters.In 1661 Shapcote went back to Ireland to practice law, and stood for three constituencies in the Irish parliament. He was highly regarded by the Cromwellians in Ireland and Captain Blood consulted him on the plan to attack Dublin Castle which Shapcote discouraged. However Shapcote was arrested and proposed for trial to be made an example of. After a year's imprisonment, he was pardoned and released, but was expelled from the Irish parliament. He continued with his legal practice in Ireland, but took no further part in politics.".
