- You may be looking for individual members of the Great Houses or the living buildings used by Great Houses.
A Great House was a bloodline or Family of Time Lords. Each House used its own Looms to create new members. The collective term "Great Houses" was often used as a word for Time Lord society and culture, or specifically for the Great Houses who participated in the War in Heaven.
Description
The Great Houses were more like "wave[s] of some fundamental universal force" than family trees. (PROSE: Weapons Grade Snake Oil [+]Loading...["Weapons Grade Snake Oil (novel)"]) Members were laterally rather than directly related, so they addressed each other as cousins. Each House was allowed to have a specific number of members. (PROSE: Lungbarrow [+]Loading...["Lungbarrow (novel)"])
Time Lords of Newblood Houses were loomed with a second heart (PROSE: Christmas on a Rational Planet [+]Loading...["Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)"]) and had better rebirth-control than older Houses; (PROSE: Christmas on a Rational Planet [+]Loading...["Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)"], The Book of the War [+]Loading...["The Book of the War (novel)"]) for this reason, they viewed regeneration as trivial and never played Eighth Man Bound at the Academy.

Chatelaines from other Houses were often assigned to maintain chapterhouses whose Great Houses had fallen into obscurity. (PROSE: The Book of the War [+]Loading...["The Book of the War (novel)"])
Time Lords' full names often included the name of their Great House.
