The marble plaque commemorates the Holy Trinity Centenary Service which was held on the 21st March 1976. The foundation stone of the church was laid on the 10th April 1875 and the first service was held in the church in 1876. 

The church has historical significance to the city of Dubbo dating back to 1875. The church was designed by Edmund Blackett, the builder of the church was W. Moffit at a cost of £ 3,500 and the stone used in the construction was quarried near the Macquarie River in West Dubbo. The building took 12 months to complete and the first service was held on 19th March 1876 when Bishop Samuel Marsden from Bathurst was present for the occasion.
