In 2023 Peter A Harding published "After the War was Over" (2023) ISBN 978-1-3999-5260-6 which captures his memories of an idyllic childhood at Goudhurst during the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Sightings were made to Frant to the west, Tenterden to the east, Wrotham Hill to the north and Fairlight Down to the south.

A former Glebe Field at the East end of St Mary's Church was registered as a village green by Kent County Council in June 2016.

It is owned by the Diocese of Canterbury and is maintained by Goudhurst Parish Council which has a long lease for this purpose.

St Mary's Church is permitted to use the village green for parking for occasional events such as large weddings and funerals.

At present, the only public transport for Goudhurst are two bus routes operated by Arriva Southern Counties – the 26 to Maidstone, and the 297 which runs to Tunbridge Wells in the west and Tenterden and Ashford in the east.
