Trevelyan was born on February 16, 1876 in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, the third son of Sir George Otto Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet, and great-nephew of Thomas Babington Macaulay. A Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge from 1898-1903, he then spent more than twenty years as a full-time author.
During World War I, he commanded a British Red Cross ambulance unit on the Italian front, but owing to defective eyesight did not actively serve in the military. He returned to the University of Cambridge and was Regius Professor of History from 1927-1943. He served as Master of Trinity College from 1940-1951. In retirement, he was Chancellor of Durham University (1950-1958), and Trevelyan College at Durham University was named after him. He won the 1920 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for the biography Lord Grey of the Reform Bill. He was elected a fellow of the British Academy in 1925, and made a fellow of the Royal Society in 1950. He was an honorary doctor of many universities, including Cambridge.
