Can anyone tell me
1) Where I can find the manor records covering the parish of Tortworth in
Gloucester pre 1550 ?
2) What is the approximate cost of getting someone to read these ?

I know virtually nothing about these records except that they exist.

The Manorial Documents Register should tell you what manorial records exist
for a given parish, and where they are held:
http://www.mdr.nationalarchives.gov.uk/mdr/

The information is online for some counties, but not yet for
Gloucestershire.

If I remember correctly, they used to accept email enquiries, but this may
have changed since the Historical Manuscripts Commission moved to the
National Archives building at Kew - the web page mentions only visiting the
search room in person, or writing to them with an enquiry (though no address
is specified). At any rate there is an email address at the bottom of the
web page that you could try.
