What famous African Christian was the first black bishop to be ordained by the Church of England?

Although we don't know all the names of the first black Bishops, the most famous, of course, is St. Augustine, who was Bishop of Hippo from shortly after A.D. 395 until his death in August 430. Of course the Church had always been very strong in northern Africa, and would remain so until the Muslim invasion and slaughter after A.D. 632, so there were innumerable Bishops of the Catholic Church up until then. Of course, Catholicism is not a denomination, so my answer may be inadequate to your question.
