I'm thinking of a rather wide bench, with a back, that looks something like a church pew. The space under the seat is enclosed. The seat is hinged, so when you lift it, there's room underneath where you can store things like boots and gloves.
I'd like to make something like this, and I think it would be within my skill level. I'm sure I could create my own design, but I'd like to look at a plan if any are around. But what do I call the thing when I Google it?
Try "foyer bench".
That's it! Thank you, Dave!

"Deacons Bench" is what it's called around here.

Hinged seat? Sounds a lot like a toilet or a Porta-Potty.
"rather wide" might indicate a two holer.
Sounds very much like a hallway seat with the space under the seat for blankets or shoes, galoshes, or overboots,. whatever you call them there.
If the back is tall the term I use is a hall bench or tree. The tree is stretching it a bit, as a tree is usually just for coats and hats, but that's the term.
You could also be quite literal in your search term - wood storage bench.
