dosser

Leastways so the Dosser explains it, of course it is all Tommy rot.

I hope 'tis not the first time you have seen a child carried out of town in a dosser for fear of the plague.

Dosser, dos′er, n. a rich hanging of tapestry for the walls of a hall or of a chancel: a pannier.

In fact, the modern “dosser” is better and more decently housed.
