African is rather generic. Was he Tuareg, did his lineage date back to Carthage or was he a Phoenician descendant? Or was he just a run of the mill illegal immigrant.....

His burial on consecrated ground suggests that not only must he have converted to Christianity, he may have gone on to become a respected member of society.I wonder what he would say about creeping dhimmitude in Britain today...
He must have been a remarkable person.

...the bones most likely belonged to a man from modern-day Tunisia... How did a man from modern day Tunisia end up in Medieval England?

You know it is interesting that there is more pristine Roman architecture in Libya than there is in Rome.
Largely because Rome was sacked by the Visigoths

In related news, researchers have uncovered the tomb of an early dark ages African in the northern Italian province of Lombardy. The burial site bears the curious inscription
Augustinus Hipponensis. Researchers are befuddled by the presense of this African's grave so far from his home continent.
The point I'm making is how the state of scholarship has deteriorated in the West in such a short time. We've already forgotten how closely inter-connected all of 'Christendom' once was.

In 1270, Crusaders invaded what is now Tunisia and captured Carthage. Maybe this fellow was a POW, a slave, or perhaps a recruit who decided to come back with them.
