It can also mean a small space for you to put your junk… I mean, odds and ends. Some examples of this usage:
‘In reality, the glory-hole was what they called the basement-like room directly underneath the organ, where they kept the furnace that heated the church, and where all kinds of stuff was stored.’
‘Suitably baited with cheese I placed the trap in the “Glory Hole,” a cupboard containing all the junk we refused to throw away, situated underneath the stairs.’
‘He froze - waist wedged in the hole, his lower half still in Jeeson’s glory hole, his top half in the empty cellar beside it.’
