Join the results of the first two rolls together in whatever way makes the most sense, and/or is the most melodious. For example, “Raven(‘s)” and “cross” can be formed into “Raven’s Cross”, “Ravenscross”, or “Ravencross”.
Ecclesiastical designations (such as Abbey, Manse, Priory, and Rectory) either indicate the former use of the building, or that such a structure once stood on the site. By the 18th century the term “Castle” was being applied to buildings that looked impressive, but had no military function whatsoever. “Lodge” and “Villa” can indicate that the house was once much smaller, but has been enlarged. A Peel would once have been a watchtower along the Scottish border. The original tower may be incorporated into the house, or have been demolished long ago.
