Gloucester Cathedral offers at least 3 tours (costs range 7-13 GBP) and they are conducted by volunteer locals, so I feel fine paying/contributing. I took the Highlights and the Tower tour total of 30min and 1hr respectively, (couldn't fit the Crypt tour) both done by lively docents who know their Norman vs. Perpendicular architecture and history. book when you enter. You could walk around on your own, but having a local guide you also get more interesting commentary.

St Barnabas is a lively church family, who meet on the south side of the city of Gloucester. We try to live in a way that speaks of the peace and hope that the Christian faith offers in today’s world. We gather in a beautiful and unusual church building, dating from 1938-9, by N F Cachemaille-Day (1896-1976). Nugent Francis Cachemaille-Day was an important ecclesiastical architect of the inter-war years; the church demonstrates the influence of the liturgical movement, with its combination of traditional and modern materials and innovative planning. The design has been described as "radical", and was built to Cachemaille-Day's unaltered original design. The stained glass was designed by Christopher Webb (1886-1966), and dates from 1940. In the Lady Chapel is stained glass resited from the temporary Church which can still be seen opposite the exisiting building and is now used as a church hall. The church is open every day during daylight hours.
