In 1656 he was elected MP for Devon for the Second Protectorate Parliament and in 1659 he was elected MP for Tavistock in the Third Protectorate Parliament.

In 1660, Fowell was elected MP for Plymouth in the Convention Parliament in a double return. He was seated on 27 April but was replaced on 9 June 1660 by Samuel Trelawny, after which he retired.
