He was educated at Stockport Grammar School and Merton College, Oxford. He matriculated at Merton College on 6 April 1693 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1696.

Shippen acted as a tutor at Brasenose College, Oxford was awarded a Master of Arts degree on 4 July 1699.[1]

He was then elected a Fellow of Brasenose College.[2]

He was elected Professor of Music at Gresham College in London on 4 December 1705 and a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1706.

He benefited from the living of St Stephen's, Limehouse.

Shippen was elected Principal (head) of Brasenose College, Oxford in 1710 and attained a Doctor of Divinity. He held the post of Principal of Brasenose until his death in 1745.[3]

During his time as President of Brasenose College, Shippen was also Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University from 1718 until 1723.[4][5]

In 1710, the same year he became Principal of Brasenose, he married Frances (died 1728), daughter of Richard Legh of Lyme Park, and widow of Sir Gilbert Clerke of Chilcote.
