The Cloak of St Agnes.
a plague appeared that autumn and looked to spread far and wide as 
traders, travelers and refugees spread it far and wide. However God 
answered the peoples prayers though not in the way they expected. That year 
the snows came early.The blessed Agnes was one of those caught in the snow as 
she traveled to Pepperford. Darkness was descending when she stumbled 
across the child. The baby suffering as it was from the plague had been 
abbandon here by its parents lest before it died it infected them. The 
blessed saint quickly picked the barely liveing babe up and wrapped it in her 
cloak. then headed with renewed determination toward what she hoped 
was pepperford. Miraculously she did not break her neck as she stumbled 
through the snow but it was the next morning before she arrived safely 
bearing a prefectly healthy child.

The cloak resting as it does now in St Agnes Church Pepperford 
uses the following spells.

Cure Disease, Healing Slumber,Warm, Soilproof. 
The effects are miraculous normal chances of failure being replaced by 
the limitation "subject must not have offended God".

In my Campaign the child grew into an important wyccan leader.
Hence the cloak still languishes in a small rural church. Indeed
if the child status had been known at the time it is unlikely that
Agnes would have been Beatified<is that the word>. [It depends on
what you mean.  Beatification is the middle of three steps the
Catholic Church goes thru in recognizing a saint, the first of
whhich is veneration and the last of which is canonization. Editor.]
An encounter with the ghost of the mother looking for the child.
Might be interesting.  Hmm a chance to see if my players remember
the cloak and its origin.
