Kitty Trevelyan was educated at Sidcot School and Girton College Oxford. However, she left her studies at Oxford to embark on a solo backpacking trek across Canada in 1930. In 1932 she married the music educator Johann Gottfried Götsch [Georg], and relocated to the Musikheim educational institution in Frankfurt (Oder), where she witnessed Hitler's rise to power. Kitty returned to England shortly before the outbreak of World War II, and was divorced from Georg. She became a teacher and also delivered religious radio broadcasts. She was involved with the Spiritualist movement, and wrote a number of books.

Caroline Trevelyan nee Philips c.1847-1928 was politically engaged, acting as President of Morpeth and Wansbeck Women’s Liberal Association and was also involved in the Tynemouth Association.

She has become known for her watercolour landscapes, which have been exhibited at Wallington Hall.
