William B. Trevelyan

William Bouverie Trevelyan (1853-1929) was an English clergyman educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. He received his B.A. degree in 1876 and his M.A. in 1879. He was ordained deacon in 1877 and priest in 1878. From 1881 to 1884, he served as Vice-Principal of Ely College, where he was involved in the educational work of the institution.

In 1884, Trevelyan became Vicar of St. Matthew's, Westminster. His ministry there formed part of his clerical career in the Church of England. The information supplied identifies him primarily through his academic training, ordination, educational appointment, and subsequent parish ministry. No further details concerning his family, early life, or other pastoral appointments are given in the supplied source.

Trevelyan also made a contribution to English hymnody. He contributed the hymn "Father, See Thy Children Bending at Thy Throne" to C. W. A. Brooke's Additional Hymns, published in 1903. The hymn was classified for Holy Communion. It was subsequently included in The English Hymnal in 1906, although the refrain was omitted in that version. This hymn contribution is the principal work specifically associated with Trevelyan in the information provided.
