Trevelyan was born in Taunton, and after he finished his schooling at Charterhouse he was posted as a “writer to the East India Company's civil service in Bengal in 1826 due to his ability to learn foreign languages.
Trevelyan was, however, recalled following his release of some government information that was deemed an act 'subversive to all authority.'” However, he was found to be blameless, and in 1862 he returned to India as finance minister, a position at which he would remain until 1865.
In Trevelyan’s “later years in England, he was involved in various charitable enterprises and supported other important reforms regarding the purchase of army commissions and advancements, as well as the organization of a standing army.” Trevelyan died in 1886.

During the years 1846-47 famine struck again when the potato crop was devastated by the potato blight (the cause of the infamous "Famine" in Ireland) and this brought even further hardship to the poor crofters.
A meeting was held in Edinburgh with Sir Charles Trevelyan, the government minister in charge of famine relief in Ireland, to see what could be done for the Highlanders and Islanders who were also on the brink of starvation.
Trevelyan then said that the landlords should disperse the money themselves, as they knew best who was in genuine need of help and who was not.

 Reviews in History:
The 1960s were dominated by Cecil Woodham Smith’s popular novel-style history, The Great Hunger, a haunting, lyrical, accusatory book which aimed to deal a series of withering blows at the British body politic, excoriating the principal players, especially Charles Trevelyan and Charles Wood.
For all that Woodham Smith struck a chord, however, her book hardly stands as a sufficient monument either to the suffering of the victims or the complexities of those who deliberated on Ireland’s future.
Christine Kinealy’s This Great Calamity (the title comes from a phrase borrowed from one the principal actors of the time, Charles Trevelyan) sought to deal with much of the ground covered by Gray, although her study focuses primarily on the administration, or maladministration, of famine relief.
