The village also used to be home to a second pub "The Fox" which has since been converted into a single dwelling and a second house built in the former car park.

The Chestnuts, providing 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes, was built on the site of the former Cross Houses Hospital in the early to mid 2000s.

During 2016 work started by Fletcher Homes on a new development, known as Berrington Meadows, located on the land opposite the village shop.

The original building was designed by local architect John Hiram Haycock (1759–1830), and was later extended in 1851, 1871 and 1903 to increase capacity.

[2] The history of the buildings inspired a group of artists during its redevelopment and Benchart in Cross Houses was formed.

The artists developed contemporary public artworks in rural areas, recycling reclaimed materials from the site.

Some of the art works include sculpted benches around the Workhouse and chapel and bus shelters built using reclaimed materials and reflecting the 'local vernacular'.
