'First black Briton' plaque for 'Beachy Head Lady' removed as she may be CypriotA plaque honouring the 'first black Briton' has been removed after DNA analysis suggested she was not actually of African origin.
The plaque was placed in an east Sussex village by BBC Two as part of their 2016 Black and British series where they billed the woman as the earliest 'black Briton', claiming she was of African origin. The plaque of Beachy Head Lady, previously thought to be the 'first black Briton' has been taken down from the East Dean cricket club after it emerged she was likely from Cyprus
The study, by the Crick Institute, found that while she grew up in Eastbourne, her origins were actually in 'southern Europe – most likely Cyprus'.'Of African origin, she lived in East Sussex 2nd –3rd century AD.'
