Description: Newspaper article: "Plant may send spire toppling. Few of the people who attend services at Grahamstown's historical Methodist Commemoration Church know that one of the five spires which top the old building is in danger of being destroyed - by a plant. The plant, a wild fig which takes root in any foreign substance and grows without soil, is slowly sending its long, leaf-tipped shoots along the delicate cement-work of the spire".
