  Lancing & Sompting on the Web - Memories
Trelawny continued to take charge of things for Mary by organising the burial of the ashes in the Protestant cemetery in Rome where Shelley's son William was buried.
Trelawny wrote to Mary Shelley during this time about the possibility of his entering parliament and his family connections would have made it a fairly easy task to obtain one of the rotten boroughs they controlled; but he never became an MP.
Trelawny planted trees, went shooting or fishing or riding, grew his fruit and vegetables, and performed sufficient of the duties expected of him to be accepted locally.

  Sir Jonathan, Bart Trelawny - LoveToKnow 1911
Unlike five of his colleagues among the "seven bishops," Trelawny took the oaths of allegiance to William and Mary; but he was soon estranged from the new king and sided with the princess Anne, who showed him some favour after she became queen.
Trelawny is the hero, or one of the heroes, of the refrain: "And shall Trelawny die, Here's twenty thousand Cornishmen Will know the reason why." These words were sung by the men of Cornwall, who seem to have assembled during the bishop's short imprisonment in 1688.
It is probable, however, that a similar threat was heard in 1628, when John Trelawny (1592-1665), grandfather of the bishop, was imprisoned by the House of Commons for opposing the election of Sir John Eliot to parliament.

 Trelawny, Edward John Criticism and Essays
Trelawny's reputation as an author has long depended on his intimate knowledge of his more famous friends, Percy Bysshe Shelley and George Gordon (Lord) Byron in particular, and until the middle of this century he was considered a valuable heir, witness, and interpreter of the Romantic tradition.
Trelawny, already striving to cultivate a Romantic persona, challenged her lover to a duel; instead, in 1819, he faced the public humiliation and family scorn engendered by a divorce.
Trelawny wrote two major memoirs during his lifetime, as well as numerous letters, all of which are interesting to scholars not only for their representation of a deliberately-nurtured Romantic figure, but also for their intimate portraits of Shelley and Byron.

 Trelawny, Edward John (1792-1881)
Trelawny even accused Mary Shelley of betraying Shelley's ideals by living too conventiously, completely neglecting her position as a widow with a son to raise.
Trelawny had already met the painter Millais at the funeral of the cartoonist John Leech at Kensal Green Cemetery in 1864, but when Millais asked him in 1874 to sit for a portrait he wouldn't know of it.
Trelawny's book "Records of Byron, Shelley and The Author" (1878) proved fascinating reading for those interested in Byron, Shelley or the author himself, but in later years scholars proved many of his claims to be false.
