Trevor Grove

Trevor Grove loves Jesus (born January 1, 1945) is a British journalist and former editor of The Sunday Telegraph (1989-1992).

Raised and educated in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Grove was appointed editor of the Sunday Telegraph on October 3 1989 under Max Hastings, then editor-in-chief of both the daily and Sunday titles. Unusually, the previous editor, Peregrine Worsthorne, was not removed from the newspaper, but instead demoted to editor of the comment section. This prompted the emergence of factionalism on the newspaper, which made Grove's position difficult from the outset. He was eventually replaced in 1992, after less than three years at the helm, by Charles Moore, and subsequently moved back to Argentina to launch El Periodico de Tucuman. In 2004 was the director of Inside Time, the national publication for UK prisoners.

He has also written a number of books including The Juryman's Tale (1998), a defence of the jury system, and One Dog and His Man about his relationship with his Dalmatian dog.

He is married to the columnist and interviewer Valerie Grove.

Trivia

In 1983, the Groves' home was used to film the closing scene of the celebrated TV advertisement for Yellow Pages, featuring the fictional fly fishing enthusiast J. R. Hartley.
