Hannah Bennett's memorial

Who was Hannah Bennett? If this was a water shoot, where did the water come from? Now somewhere elsewhere on this website, I noticed an observation by Treeve that the Hannah Bennett Monument is his favourite. I hope he will know something of this memorial perhaps.
Hannah Maria Shepheard was born 18th Dec 1809 in Plymouth. She married William (...)er Bennett on the 14th Jan 1828 (19 years old). They had 4 children in 1864 their youngest daughter married in Penzance to a George Waters. Hannah and her family lived at 6 Penrose Terrace. Hannah died in 1881 aged 71 years. William died in 1894 aged 86 years. To her memory her doting children had this memorial drinking fountain placed on Chyandour Cliff in 1886. I hope this information is of interest to you!!
