As a young man, Shrubsole worked as a shipwright in the dockyard, then as a clerk. In 1785, he moved to London and entered the Bank of England as a clerk; he subsequently became Secretary to the Committee of the Treasury. For a while he attended St. Anne’s Church in Blackfriars, but for the last 20 years of his life he belonged to the Congregationalists, and attended Hoxton Academy Chapel. He was a director and secretary of the London Missionary Society, and contributed hymns to the Evangelical Magazine, Christian Magazine, Theological Miscellany, Christian Observer, and Youth’s Magazine. His daughter gave a Memoir of him to Dr. Morison’s Fathers and Founders of the London Missionary Society (London: Fisher, Sons & Co., 1844)
