[1] The church's internet presence operates as a wider community website which has pages for its coffee shop, sponsored centre and initiatives.

The parish page on the church's web site states that Goldsworth Park was designed as a “garden estate”.

The parish is bounded by St John's and Woking to the south, and by Knaphill and Horsell to the west and north-east.

From the Domesday Book of 1086[2] (and possibly earlier) until 1884, Goldsworth Park was part of the parish of Woking, which in 1848 "comprise[d] 10,000 acres [40 square kilometres (15 sq mi)] by computation".

[3] St John the Baptist Church, 'Goldsworth' built of stone in 13th-century style, was designed by George Gilbert Scott in 1842 (later knighted), and enlarged in 1879 and 1883, and in the year after what was considered St John's, Goldsworth gained the status of a parish.
