He was an auditor for Duchy of Lancaster in 1640, In November 1640, he was returned as Member of Parliament for Monmouth in the Long Parliament. There was a double return with William Watkins which was not resolved immediately. When some of the voters petitioned against the result, his opponent was forced to stop sitting as an MP until the dispute could be resolved. Meanwhile, he has created a baronet (of Enfield in Middlesex) on 11 August 1641. His election was finally declared void in November 1644. By this time, Parliament had suspended by-elections to fill vacancies because of the Civil War, and when they resumed Trevor was instead elected MP for Tregony in 1647.
