He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Chippenham at the January 1910 general election, defeating the Liberal incumbent John Poynder Dickson. At the December 1918 general election he was challenged by Liberal candidate Albert Bennett and Labour party candidate Reuben George, but beat both of them to retain his seat as MP. He held the Chippenham seat until his defeat at the 1922 general election by the Liberal candidate Alfred Bonwick.
He was the father of Sir Reginald Terrell; unusually, father and son sat in Parliament at the same time, with Reginald representing Henley from 1918 until 1924.[1]
