Following the suppression of
Cahir O'Doherty's Rebellion in 1608, the lands around Corrinshego were granted to
Sir Oliver St John. The area remained in the possession of the St John family until it passed to
Robert Sparrow, an English Member of Parliament and barrister. Through marriage, the land later came into the ownership of the
Dukes of Manchester. The Chancellors Road, which runs through Corrinshego to Carrivemaclone, was constructed in the early 19th century by
Isaac Corry, reportedly to avoid passing through Newry. On 23 June 1808, a detachment of
yeomanry attacked attendees at a
St John's Eve bonfire in Corrinshego, killing one man and injuring several others. The incident caused outrage among the magistrates of Newry. Although one arrest was made, the detainee was freed when a crowd attacked the house in which he was being held. In September 1881, a number of evictions in the area led to the establishment of a local branch of the
Irish National Land League. The branch was formed just a week prior to the organisation's national suppression. In the early 20th century, land in Corrinshego was sold by the
9th Duke of Manchester to the tenants, with negotiations concluding in 1904 and the sale completed in 1909. A
Sinn Féin club named after Thomas Davis was established in Corrinshego in 1905 and was among the earliest such clubs in Ireland. During the late 1900s and early 1910s, Corrinshego was frequently mentioned in the local press as a location where
cock-fights were held. The Corrinshego Company of the
Irish Republican Army was part of the Newry Brigade of the
Forth Northern Division. In November 1920, volunteers from the company took part in the attacks on Camlough Royal Irish Constabulary barracks and the
Egyptian Arch Ambush. == Sports ==
