There have been two baronetcies created for members of the Trevelyan family (pronounced "Trevillian" [2] ), one in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. As of 2014, both creations are extant.
The family derived its surname from the manor of Trevelyan in the parish of St Veep, Cornwall, situated in the ancient hundred of West Wivel, called Trewellen in the Domesday Book of 1086, [3] and shown in the British Ordnance Survey map of 1890 as located about one mile east of Penpoll. [4] A different manor named Trevelien in 1086 (now named Trevillyn) is in the adjacent hundred of Powder. [5]
The Trevilian, later Trevelyan Baronetcy, of Nettlecombe in the County of Somerset, was created in the Baronetage of England on 24 January 1662 for George Trevilian. [6]
Prominent members of the senior branch included: The Venerable George Trevelyan (third son of the 4th Baronet), Archdeacon of Taunton in Somerset. His third son Henry Willoughby Trevelyan was a Major-General in the British Army. His younger son Sir Ernest John Trevelyan [8] [9] (1850–1929) was a Judge of the High Court of Calcutta, a writer on legal matters and a member of the Oxford Town Council. Humphrey Trevelyan, Baron Trevelyan, son of the Reverend George Philip Trevelyan, son of the Reverend William Pitt Trevelyan, sixth son of the aforementioned the Venerable George Trevelyan, was a diplomat and author.

The Trevelyan Baronetcy, of Wallington in the County of Northumberland, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 13 March 1874 for the civil servant and colonial administrator Sir Charles Trevelyan, 1st Baronet. The estate of Wallington was inherited by Sir George Trevelyan, 3rd Baronet (1707–1768) from his wife Julia Calverley, daughter of Sir Walter Calverley, 1st Baronet, and his wife Julia Blackett, heiress of Wallington Castle, rebuilt by the Blacketts in the 1689s, who purchased it from the Fenwick family. [10] The family seat is Wallington Hall, near Cambo in Northumberland.
The release of historical records has shown that much of the wealth of the family derived from the holding of slaves in Grenada. [11] In 2023, at least 42 members of the Trevelyan family signed a formal apology to victims of slavery, and donated a fund to pay voluntary reparations. [12]
The heir apparent is the present holder's only son Julian Miles Trevelyan (born 1998).
