His father was killed in action during the First World War. He was educated at Eton College and Balliol College, Oxford, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.[1]
Elected as a member of Lancashire County Council in 1937, Shuttleworth also became a Justice of the Peace for the county and was commissioned as a Flying Officer into the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. On 20 December 1939, he succeeded his grandfather as the 2nd Baron Shuttleworth, of Gawthorpe (created 1902), and also to a baronetcy created in 1849, and inherited the Gawthorpe Hall estate at Ightenhill.[1]
Shuttleworth fought in the Battle of Britain and in August 1940 was killed in action during air operations which formed part of it,[1] when his Hawker Hurricane went missing during a battle over a convoy in the English Channel, south of the Isle of Wight.[2]
