He was Lord Lieutenant of Northumberland 1930-1949
He was the eldest son of the MP George Otto Trevelyan and his wife Caroline Philips, daughter of the MP Mark Philips. His paternal grandfather was Charles Edward Trevelyan, the civil servant. He married Mary Katherine Bell, OBE, daughter of Sir Thomas Hugh Bell, 2nd Bt. They had six children.
He inherited Wallington Hall in 1928 and passed it to the National Trust, the first such property to be owned by the Trust.
