Sir Charles Trevelyan, 3rd Baronet
Sir Charles Philips Trevelyan, 3rd Baronet (28 October 1870 – 24 January 1958) was Liberal Member of Parliament for Elland, Yorkshire from a by-election in 1899 until 1918, when he lost the seat running as an I.L.P (Independent Labour Party) candidate. At that time, the I.L.P. was part of the Labour Party; indeed, under its leader, Keir Hardie, it had largely been responsible for the creation of the Labour Party. He won the seat of Newcastle Central for Labour in 1922 and held it until 1931.
He was Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education (1908–1914). He was President of the Board of Education (7 June 1929–2 March 1931), when he resigned.
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 Bell, 2nd Baronet. 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.
