Educated at Repton School, and on 24 May 1780 was admitted as pensioner at Queens' College, Cambridge, where he made the acquaintance of Sir Egerton Brydges. He gradudated B.A. 1784, M.A. 1787, and B.D. 1796, was elected scholar on 4 February 1784, fellow on 13 January 1786, and took orders in the Church of England. He was elected fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London on 5 March 1795. The first volume of Shaw's History and Antiquities of Staffordshire came out in 1798, and a fragment part of the second volume was published in 1801. It contained many of his own illustrations, some of which had already appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine.
