wrote:
I recently replaced a plastic light switch with a brass victorian
type. Coming from the ceiling were 2 x red wires and an earth, which
connected securely to the metal mounting box.

Question: There is an earth terminal on the back of the brass
faceplate. Do I need to connect this to the earth on the back box?

Thanks,
Bruce

No, as the securing screws to back box will suffice.
