Description
The Victorian drinking fountain memorial in Hoe Park was built in 1881 and is made of polished grey and pink granite. It stands on an octagonal stepped base and features a large square pier with drinking fountains on each side. The corners of the pier are adorned with polished pink granite colonnettes topped with finials, although one finial is missing. The memorial includes a carved foliated cornice and a short granite spire that is topped by a statue of Bathsheba holding an amphora. On one side of the fountain, there is a plaque that reads: "Presented to the Town of Plymouth by Charles Norrington of Abbotsfield in memory of his wife Marianne Norrington 1881." This memorial is part of a group of public monuments located on The Hoe.
