Sir Charles Trevelyan, 3rd Baronet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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. In early 1939, following Stafford Cripps and with Aneurin Bevan among others, he was briefly expelled from the Labour Party for persisting with support for a 'popular front' (involving cooperation with the Communist Party) against the Nazis.[1]
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 including his first born, Sir George Lowthian Trevelyan, whom he desinherited:
He passed Wallington Hall, which he had inherited in 1928 to the National Trust, the first such property to be owned by the Trust.
